Plugins » Katello

We wanted to publish a content view that contains a repository with a relatively long repo_label and got the message:

Result: the publish is aborted with the error message "Validation failed: Relative path is too long (maximum is 255 characters)"

The error seems to be caused by the nature of the `relative path`, that consists of several labels (e.g. product, repository, content view, etc). The relative path itself can be up to 255 characters, and the sub-components are allowed to be 255 characters as well. This might eventually clash.

A workaround is to alter the `katello_repositories` foreman db table manually, as well as the `cp2_content` candlepin table.
