Description Corey Welton 2012-10-05 13:35:03 UTC

Per bug #855146, we currently cannot presently sync sha/sha256 RPMs.  We should indicate this limitation somewhere in the user guide or technical notes or something.

Specifically, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=855146#c7

It would read something to the effect of:

"Note: Due to present limitations in pulp, users will be unable to fully sync repos with RPMs that contains sha/sha256 checksums."


I am not 100% sure if that is technically accurate/complete, however.  Dev could provide better details.

Comment 1 Corey Welton 2012-10-05 13:39:01 UTC

The significance here is that at least a couple well-known third party (VirtualBox, [some?] Google) repos contain these signatures, so it could become a fairly prevalent question.

To be clear, we can only sync SHA-256 style RPMs, it is the older SHA-1 style RPMs we can not sync into Katello.  I'd reword the above statement to state:

"Note: Due to present limitations in the Pulp subcomponent of Cloudforms System Engine, users will be unable to fully sync repositories that contain RPMs built with SHA-1 checksums.  Repositories containing packages built using SHA-256 hashes are able to be synced with full support."
