[lustre-discuss] Install instructions for Rocky 8.8

[Jan Andersen]

I'm having some trouble installing lustre - this is on Rocky 8.8. I 
downloaded the latest (?) source:

git clone git://git.whamcloud.com/fs/lustre-release.git

and I managed to compile and create the RPMs:

make rpms

I now have a directory full of rpm files:

[root at rocky8 lustre-release]# ls -1 ?*rpm
kmod-lustre-2.15.58_42_ga54a206-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
kmod-lustre-debuginfo-2.15.58_42_ga54a206-1.el8.x86_64.rpm

lustre-tests-debuginfo-2.15.58_42_ga54a206-1.el8.x86_64.rpm

This is what I get when I, somewhat naively, try to simply install the 
lot with:

[root at rocky8 lustre-release]# dnf install ?*rpm

Clearly there is something I haven't done yet, but what am I doing wrong?
