Description Jeff Weiss 2011-09-20 15:27:44 UTC

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
katello-0.1.83-1.git.17.fc6a2f6.fc14.noarch

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create custom provider, product
2. Create a repo with url "http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/x86_64/os/" - literally - 'forget' to replace $releasever
3. Sync this repo
  
Actual results:
"The specified repo does not match the specified product"

Expected results:
A better error message, something about that the url gives a 404, or that it's not a valid repo.

Additional info:
Better message from pulp.log:

Comment 2 Jason E. Rist 2012-12-18 21:08:02 UTC

This is no longer an issue - it now says "Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: . Please verify its path and try again" in the error. (Along with a nice stack trace for debugging purposes.)
