Description Stephen Herr 2014-06-05 18:23:49 UTC

Description of problem:
rhn_package_manager will always upload package metadata contianing only md5 checksums. Instead it should do what rhnpush does and use sha256 if it's available on the operating system you're running on.

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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upload a package to a channel through rhn_package_manager
2. Look at that package's data in Spacewalk UI

Actual results:
MD5SUM is always calculated / displayed

Expected results:
SHA256 should be the default if proxy is running on a RHEL 6 or later machine.

Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2014-06-06 14:20:55 UTC

The problem was that for legacy reasons rhn_package_manager was forcing md5 checksums. It doesn't need to do that; instead inherit the rhnpush behavior of using the default checksum for the rpm.

The checksum that is used should be whatever is in the rpm headers, which should be MD5 for RHEL 5 RPMs and SHA256 for newer OS's.
