Description Ryan Bowlby 2013-08-30 04:29:11 UTC

Description of problem:

When an RPM is removed from the origin server a subsequent repo sync within Pulp fails to remove the RPM from the repository.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.2.0-0.25.beta.el6

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sync a repo with an origin feed
2. Delete an RPM from origin repo
3. Sync repo within pulp


Actual results:

Deleted RPM still exists.

Expected results:

RPM deleted from source is deleted from pulp as well.

Additional info:

I believe this was working in earlier versions of version 2. I'm also getting a slew of errors - like the one below - in the logs. I believe this is a recent development and may or may not be related.

Comment 1 Michael Hrivnak 2013-09-03 13:34:19 UTC

Have you tried using the "remove-missing" setting?

Here is an excerpt from the "pulp-admin rpm repo create --help". Both of these may be related to what you want.


Repository Contents Behavior
  --remove-missing   - if "true", units that were previously in the external
                       feed but are no longer found will be removed from the
                       repository; defaults to false
  --retain-old-count - count indicating how many non-latest versions of a unit
                       to keep in a repository

Comment 2 Ryan Bowlby 2013-09-03 14:20:11 UTC

I did not in fact know about this new option. However, upon setting the repos to true for --remove-missing and performing a repo sync and publish the packages are still within pulp but not the origin.

Comment 3 Ryan Bowlby 2013-09-03 14:23:26 UTC

NM, performing a restart of apache then a sync/publish removed the packages. Thanks Michael, as always! ;)
