Description Justin Sherrill 2017-02-10 16:51:47 UTC 
Description of problem:

For yum repos sometimes content on the filesystem becomes corrupt or missing.  Pulp provides the ability to do this but katello needs to support it.

katello would need to:

1) switch the repo to on_demand if its immediate (possibly just in pulp)
2) sync the repo
3) kick off a 'download' task with verify_all_units set to true
4) change the repo back to 'immediate' if needed

Comment 4 Justin Sherrill 2017-02-17 22:24:14 UTC 
Not entirely.  I think we need some design around this.  There are two different scenarios here:

a) You want to force pulp to sync the repository again, but pulp doesn't think it needs to so it just skips most of the steps.  Lets call this force sync.

b) There is some rpm corruption and you want pulp to verify all of the checksums locally on the filesytem and redownload anything that is corrupt.  Lets call this Repair and Sync


I know of three bzs that cover these situations I believe:

a) Force Sync
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1421250

b) Repair and Sync
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1421232
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223023


And it is possible that we could combine both of these into one user action, however i imagine b) will take quite a bit longer, is quite a bit more complex, and likely won't be needed as much as a) (in my experience).  So I think This is a dupe of 1223023

I will close this BZ and retitle 1223023 accordingly.
