Fedora Everything repo contains invalid .treeinfo
Last modified: 2014-03-16 23:11:45 EDT
Description of problem: Both Fedora/7 and Fedora/8 include the new .treeinfo descriptive file. The .treeinfo file is required by SNAKE to properly digest the installation source. It points to key files created by the compose (stage#2 images, boot media). There appears to be a .treeinfo file provided by the fedora Everything repo, unfortunately, the file contents do not match the repo. Additionally, I don't believe the Fedora Everything repo was intended to be installable (e.g. no boot media images/*). Examples ... * http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/.treeinfo * http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/os/.treeinfo Would it be possible to remove or update the .treeinfo file in the Everything repo Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora/7 and Fedora/8 Actual results: # curl http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/.treeinfo [general] family = Fedora timestamp = 1193822224.97 variant = totaldiscs = 1 version = development discnum = 1 packagedir = Packages arch = i386 [images-i386] kernel = images/pxeboot/vmlinuz initrd = images/pxeboot/initrd.img boot.iso = images/boot.iso diskboot.img = images/diskboot.img [images-xen] kernel = images/xen/vmlinuz initrd = images/xen/initrd.img [stage2] instimage = images/minstg2.img mainimage = images/stage2.img Expected results: # curl http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/.treeinfo [general] family = Fedora timestamp = 1193822224.97 variant = Everything version = 8 packagedir = Packages arch = i386 Additional info: * jkeating directed me to two scripts that are used to generate the Everything repo. > scripts/buildrawhide - http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=fedora/releng;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/buildrawhide;hb=HEAD > scripts/pungify - http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=fedora/releng;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/pungify;hb=HEAD
It takes extreme needs to modify a release tree, and in my opinion this doesn't count. We can prevent the problem from happening in future trees but I'm not going to modify the existing trees.
jkeating: sorry, I should have been clearer ... this bug wasn't intended to address existing trees This was meant to track whatever fixes would be required to address this for >= F9
Reopening to track >= F9
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This appears fixed ... the following Everything URL's no longer contain a .treeinfo file. * http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/.treeinfo * http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/ppc/os/.treeinfo * http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/x86_64/os/.treeinfo
