RPM url in CentOS install instructions returns 404

[jimbergstrom]

Problem encountered on https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/linux-package-manager/centos/sdk-current
Operating System: Linux CentOS / Oracle - x64

Steps to reproduce

Following the install instructions on https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/linux-package-manager/centos/sdk-current

1. Try to install the RPM from https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/packages-microsoft-prod.rpm

Expected behavior

RPM downloads and installs

Actual behavior

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
error: skipping https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/packages-microsoft-prod.rpm - transfer failed

I think the rpm URL in the instructions for CentOS may need to be updated to

https://packages.microsoft.com/config/centos/7/packages-microsoft-prod.rpm

Adding to the above, if you navigate to https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/ in a browser then you can see the rpm package in the directory. However, if you click on the rpm to download it, it pops up an error stating the file is not found.

@leecow, do you know if the Linux repository team is aware of this? (Regardless which repo the docs should point to, this seems to be an obvious bug.)

I haven't seen any mail on the issue so will send up a flare now.

This is fixed now, thanks @leecow for pinging them.

About the CentOS instructions pointing to the RHEL 7 RPM, #2576 is tracking the general issue of how closely we should map instructions to individual package repositories. So far, we've tended to reuse package repositories between distros and releases as long as they're compatible.
