Description Justin Sherrill 2011-10-06 20:17:27 UTC

Due to BZ 738657 pulp is making a change to require that if you manually add or remove a package or errata you much explicitly call /repositories/id/generate_metadata to update the metadata of the repository.  

This will hit on pulp version 238 most likely.

We need to update promotions to handle this.

irc log:

      prad | jsherrill, ping  
@jsherrill | prad: pong
      prad | jsherrill, hey just heads up on some of the selective sync changes i'm making on pulp  
           | side .. if you're using add/remove on packages or errata you'll need to call           
           | generate_metadata to update the underlying metadata
      prad | jsherrill, pulp's add/remove operations will only do associate/dis associations
      prad | jsherrill, you'll need to call POST /repositories/id/generate_metadata/ to update      
           | repodata          
      prad | after your selections are complete       
@jsherrill | prad: ahhh good to know, do you know what version of pulp this will take effect in?    
      prad | jsherrill, should probably make it into tomorrows qe build so probably 238 or 239     
      prad | 237-2 is prospective CR.. so will be after that                 
@jsherrill | prad: ok, i'll open a bug to track that  
      prad | jsherrill, cool here is the pulp bug 738657  
      prad | jsherrill, and generate_metadata will created an async task in pulp and you get back a 
           | task id           
 jsherrill | prad: thx         
@jsherrill | prad: ah, k       
      prad | jsherrill, so you can periodically check and show the metadata status

Comment 1 Lukas Zapletal 2011-12-07 14:48:54 UTC

This is in the Pulp CR now. We should implement it.

Comment 2 Tomas Strachota 2012-02-01 11:49:22 UTC

Added into promotion in katello-0.1.209-1

Comment 4 Garik Khachikyan 2012-02-02 15:35:49 UTC

please provide a CLI scenario how to reproduce the issue. thanks.

(so far my tries to add an individual package to the changeset always bring in adding the whole repo content seems)

Comment 5 Tomas Strachota 2012-02-02 16:01:01 UTC

testing scenario:
1) create a product, add a repo
2) promote the product to next environment
3) sync the product
4) create a changeset, add a package, promote the changeset
5) check if metadata of the repo are updated

Comment 6 Garik Khachikyan 2012-02-02 16:07:02 UTC

my issue is: not possible to add a single package - but all :)

but any case - even with this I will check the bug. thanks.

Comment 7 Tomas Strachota 2012-02-02 16:12:52 UTC

You can add a package but it's repo and product must be promoted first. That's why I let empty repo to be promoted in the scenario above.

Comment 8 Garik Khachikyan 2012-02-09 16:06:30 UTC

# VERIFIED

Following the scenario in comment#5 (thanks a lot, Tomas) I confirm: repodata getting regenerated and the system that was registered is getting the packages (from errata as well) through yum successfully installed.

I have used the famous zoo repo there :)

Checked the scenario under version:
