Unfortunately Pulp (the process that handles our package syncing and publishing) requires that existing metadata already exist in the directory if you are doing a local sync. We would need to add in package upload capability into Katello's CLI to support he model where you want to import packages that are *not* part of an existing yum repository.
A short term workaround would be to run 'createrepo /var/tmp/fakepackages/' or wherever your packages are located before you do your sync. That way Katello would would be able to sync from your local dir. An updated workflow would be:
# katello repo create --name local3 --product=local1 --org ACME_Corporation --url file:///var/tmp/fakepackages/
# createrepo /var/tmp/fakepackages/
33/33 - acme-6.9.6-1.elfake.noarch.rpm
Saving Primary metadata
Saving file lists metadata
Saving other metadata
# katello repo synchronize --name local3 --product=local1 --org ACME_Corporation
Repo [ local3 ] synced
# katello repo info --name local3 --product=local1 --org ACME_Corporation --env Library

Mike, Any updates on this? Do we need to start working on it? Thanks. Moving back to new as I've not looked into this at all. getting rid of 6.0.0 version since that doesn't exist If users wish to get packages from a directory with no repodata they should use the upload feature. If they wish to sync a directory of packages using a feed mechanism they should run createrepo on the directory. CLOSING:WONTFIX Users should either (1) use hammer to unload the files or (2) run create repo. We will not support slurping up a directory. If you disagree, please feel free to re-open this. |
1) Create a directory on your local Katello server with just a series of packages: $ ls /var/tmp/fakepackages boar-0.1.3-1.elfake.noarch.rpm camel-4.10.5-1.elfake.noarch.rpm canary-2.7.10-1.elfake.noarch.rpm chicken-7.5.7-1.elfake.noarch.rpm chipmunk-2.9.2-1.elfake.noarch.rpm cow-1.3.9-1.elfake.noarch.rpm cow-1.7.8-1.elfake.noarch.rpm cow-6.7.4-1.elfake.noarch.rpm deer-10.9.4-1.elfake.noarch.rpm dog-7.6.0-1.elfake.noarch.rpm 2) do not run createrepo on this directory, just leave it to be a pile of packages. 3) Setup a custom repository in CFSE pointed at the local directory on the CFSE server: # katello repo create --name local3 --product=local1 --org ACME_Corporation --url file:///var/tmp/fakepackages/ 4) Sync the repo: # katello repo synchronize --name local3 --product=local1 --org ACME_Corporation 5) Note that the repo shows 0 packages: # katello repo info --name local3 --product=local1 --org ACME_Corporation --env Library -------------------------------------------------- Information About Repo 14 -------------------------------------------------- Id: 14 Name: local3 Package Count: 0 Arch: noarch Url: file:///var/tmp/fakepackages/ Last Sync: 2012/10/09 16:31:15 Progress: Finished GPG key:
