RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marek Marusic 2015-06-03 13:28:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
I tried to add testFile.gz with modifyrepo to repository with compression, but no compression was performed. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create repository
2. touch testFile.gz
3. modifyrepo --compress testFile.gz repodata/


Actual results:
[tmp.NfgauB01uO]# rpm -q createrepo
createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch

[tmp.NfgauB01uO]# modifyrepo --compress testFile.gz repodata/
Wrote: /tmp/tmp.NfgauB01uO/repodata/testFile.gz
           type = testFile
       location = repodata/e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855-testFile.gz
       checksum = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

  open-checksum = e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
Wrote: /tmp/tmp.NfgauB01uO/repodata/repomd.xml



Expected results:
on RHEL6

Additional info:
Also when I use --compress-type bz2 testFile.gz I got on both RHEL6 and RHEL7 not compressed file:

Comment 2 Stanislav Zidek 2015-11-26 11:42:33 UTC 
Even worse, modifyrepo UNPACKS (or tries to unpack) files with .gz suffix and stores them with .gz suffix.

# rpm -q createrepo
createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch
# echo text >text
# gzip text
# modifyrepo --compress --compress-type gz text.gz repodata/
