Description of problem: I try to sync fedora 21 repository by spacewalk-repo-sync and I get following error: ERROR: xz compression not available xz compression isn't default supported. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. spacewalk-repo-sync -c fedora-21 -u https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/21/x86_64/os/ Actual results: default without xz compression, need install pyliblzma Expected results: package pyliblzma is installed and xz compression is supported
Fixed in spacewalk master as commit a8157f459debd277d45fa7f43195df555e567ee8 1144008 - support for xz compressed repos
Based on https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/commit/a8157f459debd277d45fa7f43195df555e567ee8 Looks safe to backport to 5.7. I assume that RHEL 6 has this requires already.
pyliblzma is not in RHEL6, it's in EPEL6 which means we would have to rebuild it and ship within satellite channel. The other possibility is to create kbase article saying "install pyliblzma from EPEL".

Agree, this maybe a simple short kbase article to cover this topic, since Fedora and other 3rd party repos may be wanted for importing by customers in future. Nice to know it wouldn't be difficult for them to get it working. Something with a basic error message and then solution. Are you able to do this Michael? Thanks, Cliff
