Description Mike McCune 2012-06-12 23:57:26 UTC 
The latest format of the manifest zip files downloaded from the Customer Portal are no longer compatible with CFSE 1.0.0's version of Candlepin.

The error the user receives when trying to import ends up being found in tomcat's catalina.out:

Jun 11 20:42:21 [http-8443-1] INFO  org.candlepin.resource.OwnerResource - Importing archive: /var/cache/tomcat6/temp/pfx5505155024546797626sfx

worked with Chris Duryee and James Bowes and determined a hotfix needs to be developed to have CFSE's candlepin properly deal with this new format.  This bug is filed to track that effort

Created attachment 591302 [details]
python script to fix manifest format
Comment 2 Mike McCune 2012-06-13 00:00:13 UTC 
See the attached script for a short term fix to use to massage the manifest to get it to import.
Comment 3 Mike McCune 2012-06-13 00:03:04 UTC 
To execute the above script copy the manifest zip file to the same directory as the script and run:

$ python ./cfse-1-0-0-manifest-fix.py ./manifest.zip
creating work directory
extracting manifest
reading entitlements
Fixing entitlement: 8a85f98637dcaca50137dd3a022a3d62.json
rebuilding manifest
cleaning up
all done. your new manifest is in manifest-fixed.zip

you then upload manifest-fixed.zip
Comment 4 James Bowes 2012-06-13 12:37:56 UTC 
It's good to keep this bug open for the time being to help users find the attached script, but I plan on fixing this server side, in the manifest generation code.
Comment 6 James Bowes 2012-06-15 14:24:01 UTC 
The fix for this is now live in production. If your manifest is not importing correctly into CloudForms or Subscription Asset Manifest, please download a new copy from access.redhat.com
Comment 8 Mike McCune 2013-08-16 18:11:39 UTC 
getting rid of 6.0.0 version since that doesn't exist
