[Pulp-list] repomd.xml creation

[Michael Hrivnak]

Patrick,

Pulp does generate the repomd.xml during publish, so maybe it's just a matter of giving the right URL to spacewalk. Based on your command, I'd expect the repo to be available here:

https://yourmachine/pulp/repos/content/dist/rhel/server/6/6Server/x86_64/os/

Try browsing to there, and you should see a "repodata" directory containing several XML files, including repomd.xml. If so, then the above is the URL to your repository, and that is what you should give to yum, spacewalk, or anything else that wants to access the repo.

Good luck,
Michael

Subject: [Pulp-list] repomd.xml creation



Hello, 

I’m new to Pulp and trying to learn under the gun as it were… 

Goal – to use Pulp to sync our RHN channels (including Errata) to be the repo(s) for SUSE Manager/Spacewalk. 

Problem that I’ve ran into is that the spacewalk-repo-sync fails because the pulp repo doesn’t create a ‘repomd.xml’ file for the tree. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another switch I need to add to the create command? 


Here is the error I get from the spacewalk server – 
['/usr/bin/spacewalk-repo-sync', '--channel', 'rhel-6-server', '--type', 'yum', '--non-interactive', ''] 
RepoError: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: rhel-6-server. (failure: repodata/repomd.xml from rhel-6-server: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.) Please verify its path and try again 




Here are the commands I used to create/publish the repo – 

pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id=rhel-6-server --feeds=https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/server/6/6Server/x86_64/os --feed-ca-cert=/etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem --feed-cert=/etc/pki/entitlement/9155491768266904137.pem --feed-key=/etc/pki/entitlement/9155491768266904137-key.pem 



pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id=rhel-6-server 

pulp-admin rpm repo publish run --repo-id=rhel-6-server 



Or, do I need to find the physical path and run the createrepo command manually? If so, what path do I use/what directory would I run the createrepo against? 



I’m running pulp 2.6.0-1.el6 on a RHEL6.6 x86_64 server. 



Thanks for your help, 



Patrick
