This checks when new content is available and refreshes System Engine with the content.

Description Ivan Necas 2012-03-22 14:39:05 UTC

Description of problem:
When CDN releases new version (let's say of RHEL), Katello should provide a way how to pull the new repositories from the CDN.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update "Red Hat" provider url to 
   http://inecas.fedorapeople.org/fakerepos/cds_fast_old/
   
   this fake cds has only 15 version of zoo product
2. import manifest available on 
  http://inecas.fedorapeople.org/fakerepos/cds_fast_old/fake-manifest-syncable.zip
3. update "Red Hat" provider url to 
  http://inecas.fedorapeople.org/fakerepos/cds_fast/
  this fake cds has new verzion 16 of zoo product
  
Actual results:
No way how to get the new repository from CDS.

Expected results:
Cli and UI feature to refresh "Red Hat" provider repositories from CDS.

Comment 4 Ivan Necas 2012-03-23 12:28:41 UTC

The support for refreshing the content repositories from CDN in CLI/API added in commit cbc446b97ac8f19e7f2f8d29370776aabe370486:

In case new repository is added in CDN (e.g. when new releasever or
architecture support is released), there is a command that is able to retrieve
this new repositories:

  katello provider refresh_products --name "Provider" --org "Organization"

It works only for Red Hat provider

There is still needed to add this support into UI as well.

Comment 5 Ivan Necas 2012-05-04 08:07:37 UTC

After discussion with Mike it seems more reasonable to create a periodic task that would check if something changes at the CDN regularly. However we need some mechanism for scheduling regular tasks.

Comment 6 Ivan Necas 2012-05-21 14:17:30 UTC

I will add a script to katello source that will be executable by cron.daily that will check changes on CDN periodically.

Comment 7 Ivan Necas 2012-05-29 14:57:22 UTC

Solved by a cron script run daily, in commit 06b352511b398e072e67295484d80ec34844750e

Comment 11 Og Maciel 2012-10-03 02:29:06 UTC

@Ivan, I followed the steps mentioned in the issue on how to verify and ran the command:

  katello provider refresh_products --name "Provider" --org "Organization"

However, you also mention a cron job that would this every so often. Is there a better way to verify this issue?

Comment 12 Ivan Necas 2012-10-03 06:49:46 UTC

There is a script `/etc/cron.daily/katello-refresh-cdn` which does the trick. So it's possible to check this by either

   1. running this script manually
   2. moving to cron.hourly, which is a bit better to verify

getting rid of 6.0.0 version since that doesn't exist
