Description John Matthews 2010-11-19 17:03:28 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently pulp relies on createrepo generating the initial repo metadata files, repomd.xml, etc.  Createrepo is typically run after a package is uploaded, or packages are synced to a repo.

This bug is to note the work we need to perform to support a repo remaining free of packages, yet it will contain group and category information.  For that to occur pulp needs to generate the initial metadata.

FOR QA:
The test for this bug is:
1) Create a repo with no feed
2) Do not upload any packages
3) Create a package group
4) Create a category
5) Create a consumer and bind to the new repo
6) On consumer verify with a grouplist you can see the created group

Look at the file comps.xml or comps.xml.gz and verify that you see the category info (this will be cached under /var/yum/cache on the client)

Comment 1 John Matthews 2011-08-05 18:09:48 UTC

QE:  I followed below steps to verify this has been fixed in pulp.
Fix was committed previously, unsure of exact commit.  Probably around time we added support of running createrepo on an empty repo, this was working.

sudo pulp-admin repo create --id grouprepo
sudo pulp-admin packagegroup create --repoid grouprepo --id testgroup1 -n testgroup1name
sudo pulp-admin packagegroup create_category -r grouprepo -n catname1 --categoryid cat1
sudo pulp-admin packagegroup add_group --categoryid cat1 --id testgroup1 -r grouprepo
sudo pulp-admin packagegroup add_package --repoid grouprepo --id testgroup1 -n zsh
sudo pulp-admin consumer bind --repoid grouprepo --id jwm_test
sudo pulp-admin consumer bind --repoid grouprepo --id jwm_test



$ sudo yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo="grouprepo" grouplist
Installed Groups:
   testgroup1name
Available Groups:
   testgroup2name
Done



$ sudo yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo="grouprepo" groupinfo testgroup1name
Group: testgroup1name
 Default Packages:
   zsh
