Fixed In Version:	yum-utils-1.1.31-25.el7	Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	Previously, yumdownloader considered only certain naming scheme of source repositories, which Certificate-based Red Hat Network content delivery network (CDN) did not follow. As a consequence, the yumdownloader and yum-builddep utilities did not work with the source repositories created in CDN. With this update, support for the new naming scheme of source repositories has been added, and yumdownloader and yum-builddep now work with source CDN repositories as intended.	Story Points:	---

Description Karel Srot 2014-03-28 14:43:38 UTC

feature doesn't seem to be implemented on RHEL-7, tested with 
yum-utils-1.1.31-24.el7

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #710469 +++

It came to my attention that the logic for --source in yumdownloader is not going to work with the repos that we've created in the CDN.  yumdownloader only looks at repos with a label of <base repo>-source.  For example, if you have a repo of binary rpms named rhel-6-workstation-rpms, it expects the SRPMs to be in rhel-6-workstation-rpms-source.  However, in the CDN the repo is named rhel-6-workstation-source-rpms.

One low-tech solution would be to have yum downloader check for this pattern as well.  Something like:

srcrepo = repo.id.replace('-rpms', '-source-rpms')
if srcrepo in src_repos:
    src_repos[srcrepo] = True

Alternatively, we could use yum repo tagging to explicitly list the label of the source repo in the repodata of the binary repo.

 This is fixed in el6, so I guess it's a regression. We forgot to turn the rhn_source_repos default to on, so it's a one line change.
