Description Jim Perrin 2012-02-09 15:42:46 UTC

Description of problem:
Once pulp has more than 2-3 repositories, running a 'pulp-admin repo list' generates a fair amount of data, enough to cause some fair scrolling. If you add cloning to this for a basic live/testing/stable style workflow, it becomes nearly impossible to just get a list of repo ids and names.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pulp-admin-0.0.254-8.el6.noarch
cr 31

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a few repositories
2. clone them for a workflow of untested / tested / stable
3. run pulp-admin repo list
  
Actual results:
every detail about every repository.

Expected results:
brief list of repository ID and repository name, one line per repository. similar to 'yum repolist' 



Additional info:
I think having a --summary (default action) option as described above, and a --verbose option that displays the current behavior would significantly enhance the console functionality for pulp.

I massively support this - I would love a --summary option to make this significantly easier to deal with.  Once you have 15-20 repos it gets incredibly hard to deal with in a useful manner.  I would be OK if summary showed the ID and last sync and nothing else.

Comment 2 Kris Buytaert 2012-05-24 14:10:32 UTC

Currently piping it into | grep -C 1 "Name" 

That gives me the --short summary I need

This was fixed long ago. Example with 5 repos:

$ pulp-admin rpm repo list

Comment 89 Jim Perrin 2013-09-26 22:41:48 UTC

That's still a bit too verbose in many instances. 

For 5 repos, you have over 30 lines of output. 

5 repositories doesn't really even get you started in most cases. If I have 20 or 30 repositories (dev/testing/prod for epel, rhel, etc) the amount of output is simply too much. Please see the output of 'yum repolist' and compare that against the output you pasted.
