Description John Matthews 2012-01-04 17:15:43 UTC
Description of problem:
Yum on el5 is unable to open .sqlite files compressed with gz.

This bz requests that the default compression type of .sqlite files reverts to .bz2 to allow older clients to function.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
createrepo-0.9.9-9.fc16.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On f16: run "createrepo ."
2. Expose repo to a el5 client
3. Configure yum on el5 and attempt to access metadata
  
Actual results:
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1399, in
<lambda>
    repoXML = property(fget=lambda self: self._getRepoXML(),

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1391, in
_getRepoXML
    self._loadRepoXML(text=self)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1381, in
_loadRepoXML
    return self._groupLoadRepoXML(text, ["primary"])

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1366, in
_groupLoadRepoXML
    self._commonRetrieveDataMD(mdtypes)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py", line 1343, in
_commonRetrieveDataMD
    misc.bunzipFile(dl_local, local)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/misc.py", line 615, in bunzipFile
    data = s_fn.read(1024000)

EOFError: compressed file ended before the logical end-of-stream was detected

Expected results:
 no error
