Description Marian Csontos 2011-02-23 16:58:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
When tasks are updated on server, changes are not fully reflected to repos built. This may lead to failing tasks because of mismatch in checksums or missing rpms.

Install all required tasks at recipes start would also
- save time as we would not do yum install for every task (which for 100+ task recipes is a significant value)
- and save more time as harness will not retry getting tasks it would not get

Notes:
- remove the repeated download attempts(?)
- ensure missing tasks or tasks with broken dependencies are skipped while the rest is installed

Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.
Comment 2 Dan Callaghan 2012-10-29 04:49:41 UTC 
There should no longer be any issues with the recipe's yum repo as we will be building a fresh one for each recipe and hardlinking all RPMs: bug 835367.
