Description Marek Marusic 2015-06-03 13:28:25 UTC
Description of problem:
I tried to add testFile.gz with modifyrepo to repository with compression, but no compression was performed. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create repository
2. touch testFile.gz
3. modifyrepo --compress testFile.gz repodata/


Actual results:
[tmp.NfgauB01uO]# rpm -q createrepo
createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch

[tmp.NfgauB01uO]# modifyrepo --compress testFile.gz repodata/
Wrote: /tmp/tmp.NfgauB01uO/repodata/testFile.gz
           type = testFile
       location = repodata/e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855-testFile.gz
       checksum = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
      timestamp = 1433337663
  open-checksum = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
Wrote: /tmp/tmp.NfgauB01uO/repodata/repomd.xml



Expected results:
on RHEL6

[tmp.cKhUkBKUFr]# rpm -q createrepo
createrepo-0.9.9-22.el6.noarch

[tmp.cKhUkBKUFr]# modifyrepo --compress testFile.gz repodata/

Additional info:
Also when I use --compress-type bz2 testFile.gz I got on both RHEL6 and RHEL7 not compressed file:
[tmp.cKhUkBKUFr]# modifyrepo --compress-type bz2 testFile.gz repodata/

but there should be Wrote: /tmp/tmp.cKhUkBKUFr/repodata/testFile.gz.bz2

Comment 2 Stanislav Zidek 2015-11-26 11:42:33 UTC
Even worse, modifyrepo UNPACKS (or tries to unpack) files with .gz suffix and stores them with .gz suffix.

# rpm -q createrepo
createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch
# echo text >text
# gzip text
# modifyrepo --compress --compress-type gz text.gz repodata/
