Thanks for your Pull Request!
I thought we have already removed all references to RHEL 7 as it went end-of-life last June (except Extended Life Cycle Support). But it seems this was not the case for Icinga 2 itself.
And as people are still having a need, I guess this PR is valid until we decide to drop it here as well.
No worries, glad to help! |

If this is just an archived version, shouldn't it be signed exactly the same as before?
Added --nogpgcheck flag to prevent following error:
Downloading packages:

Sounds more like a step to import the corresponding key was missing. However, it's questionable if it's worth putting effort into this:

Indeed, we don't build packages for RHEL 7 anymore1, like yesterday's Icinga 2.14.4 release wasn't even built for RHEL 7 anymore. So I'd say it would be better to just remove the instructions for RHEL 7 instead of giving false hopes.

Lets nuke it!
I just needed it for my systems that have not been migrated yet. The latest version i have working is:
r2.14.3-1
Want me to update the commit and remove RHEL7 from the Docs?
