<div>Hi Tim,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The way I fixed the checksum for my installation of 2.1.3 was to manually edit the python file - on my system:</div>
<div>/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp_rpm/yum_plugin/metadata.py</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I changed all the instances of "sha256" to "sha". This just forces all repos to use SHA for all checksums - otherwise I was getting a mix of SHA and SHA-256. I think part of the issue was actually with the modifyrepo command being used, which doesn't seem to have an option for specifying the checksum type.<br>

<br>Has anyone else experienced issues/victories using pulp 2.1+ to create YUM repositories which are compatible with RHEL 5?<br><br>Specifically, I am referring to pulp setting/not setting the checksum type of a newly created repository correctly?<br>
<br>I have a large number of RHEL 5 boxen to maintain and when we migrated to Pulp 2.1 from 1.x we began seeing an issue where:<br><br>> pulp-admin ... rpm repo create --checksum-type sha ...<br><br>does not honor the '--checksum-type' option [1], and instead creates all new repositories of type SHA256. This causes a backwards compatibility issue with our RHEL 5 boxes who only support the SHA checksum type.<br>
<br>I am aware of the python-hashlib package, and have verified that installing it successfully allows RHEL 5 boxen to consume repositories of the SHA256 checksum type. However, IMHO this is a non-obvious work around, and not a change I (or other system administrators) can potentially make across my entire RHEL 5 infrastructure without a lot of coordination and approvals.<br>
<br>Thanks for any advice!<br><br><br>[0] <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1042208" target="_blank">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1042208</a><br>[1] <a href="https://github.com/juicer/juicer/issues/202" target="_blank">https://github.com/juicer/juicer/issues/202</a><br>
