Description of problem: An extra slash in the path passed to createrepo results in an absolute path used in <location>, when the path does not end with a slash. Specifically: 'createrepo /tmp//test' results in this unexpected behavior Both of the below work as expected: createrepo /tmp/test createrepo /tmp//test/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): createrepo-0.9.8-5.fc14.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Assume that '/tmp/tmp1/test_absolute' contains 2 rpms 2. cd /tmp/tmp1 3. `createrepo /tmp/tmp1//test_absolute` Actual results: <location href="/tmp/tmp1/test_absolute/pulp-large_100k_test-packageB-0.1.1-1.fc14.noarch.rpm"/> Expected results: <location href="pulp-large_100k_test-packageB-0.1.1-1.fc14.noarch.rpm"/> Additional info: Seen during integration with pulp. It was unexpected that the having an extra '//' in the path while not ending the path with a '/' would result in different behavior.
John, I can't seem to make this happen. Can you grab the createrepo from rawhide and see if it is gone for you, too. Thanks
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
