Description Dan Callaghan 2013-03-12 05:56:56 UTC

If createrepo fails for any reason, Beaker doesn't capture its output so we have no way to know what went wrong (apart from its exit status).

Beaker should capture stdout/stderr from createrepo and include that in the exception if createrepo fails so that it's logged.

Steps for verification:

1. Set /var/www/beaker/rpms/repodata permissions on beaker-devel to 555
2. Upload a new task
3. Error message in Web UI: Failed to import task: createrepo failed with exit status 1: Cannot create/verify /var/www/beaker/rpms/./repodata

4. Traceback in server-errors.log:

Sad that createrepo doesn't say anything more helpful than that... but I suppose there's nothing we can do about it. :-(

yeah, i double checked it to see if it's actually createrepo telling us that :)
