Description Neal Gompa 2015-08-13 03:06:25 UTC

Description of problem:
mergerepo_c generates metadata with bzip2 compression by default, whereas createrepo_c generates metadata with gzip compression by default. This results in an environment that has metadata with different compression schemes, which may be undesirable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
createrepo_c-0.9.0-3.fc22

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up two repositories of RPMs
2. Run "mergerepo_c --repo=<path/to/repo1> --repo=<path/to/repo2> -o <path/to/store/data>"

Actual results:
Generates metadata compressed with bzip2

Expected results:
Generates metadata compressed with whatever compression formats were used for initial repository data (though that might be difficult to determine if each repository used different metadata formats). At least the default should be the same as createrepo_c's default.

Additional info:
N/A

Hi Neal,
this isn't true.
Createrepo_c as well as mergerepo_c as well as createrepo as well as mergerepo generate xml metadata compressed by GZ by default and sqlite metadata compresed by BZ2 by default:

[tmlcoch@blackbox createrepo_c_lib (master)]$ rpm -q createrepo_c
createrepo_c-0.9.0-3.fc22.x86_64
[tmlcoch@blackbox createrepo_c_lib (master)]$ ll test_mergerepo
ls: cannot access test_mergerepo: No such file or directory
[tmlcoch@blackbox createrepo_c_lib (master)]$ mkdir test_mergerepo
[tmlcoch@blackbox createrepo_c_lib (master)]$ mergerepo_c -r file:///home/tmlcoch/git/createrepo_c_lib/rpms_1 -r file:///home/tmlcoch/git/createrepo_c_lib/rpms_3 -o test_mergerepo
[tmlcoch@blackbox createrepo_c_lib (master)]$ ls -1 test_mergerepo/repodata/
