Description Pradeep Kilambi 2011-08-02 13:50:29 UTC

Description of problem:

Pulp uses RepoStorage to accumulate repos and their package sacks outside of YumBase. Due to this certain attributes aren't set (which are set in yumBase) that RepoStorage assumes they are present. The error we see is:

AttributeError: DepSolver instance has no attribute '_override_sigchecks'
 
James already fixed this in fedora rawhide. Patch needs to be backported.

    Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field
    accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
    
    New Contents:
Previously, the Pulp application used the RepoStorage API directly outside of the YumBase class, therefore certain attributes were not set as expected. As a consequence, users experienced attributes errors when using the Pulp server to manage their software repositories. With this update, RepoStorage has been modified to include the condition that verifies and sets these attributes. These attributes errors occur no more when using Pulp.
