Bug #33676

Packages from AppStream variant are invisible
Added by Lukas Zapletal over 3 years ago.

Description
Hello,
when you sync CentOS 8 (or Stream) BaseOS repo, Pulp3 (not Pulp2) automatically adds "AppStream" variant. Meaning, packages from AppStream repo are automatically synced and made available in the BaseOS repository too. If you open up synced directory, there is a subdirectory named "AppStream/Packages" with all packages and metadata and .repoid also contains the variant. Anaconda automatically
Problem is, when I visit the repository in Katello, I am unable to see any AppStream packages. For example vim-enhanced is from this repository, but it is not available.
I do not understand how this is supposed to work, packages are obviously synchronized, published thus in Pulp database, however, users cannot work with them.
- Target version set to Katello 4.3.0
- Triaged changed from No to Yes
- Status changed from New to Need more information
- Target version changed from Katello 4.3.0 to Katello 4.4.0
The issue may be that the AppStream packages are not indexed into Katello even though they are downloaded. I need to investigate this.
- Status changed from Need more information to New
- Target version changed from Katello 4.4.0 to Katello Backlog
The Pulp team responded to me with this:
"... in this case Appstream is a sub repo and we do not support managing those. Bits are in database but the repo is not available to be managed".
As this is the case, I would recommend filing a feature request with Pulp if anyone reading this is interested enough: https://pulp.plan.io/
I will be putting this on the backlog since it's expected behavior but there is potential for improvement.
Ian, sorry I missed your comment in the sea of redmine update notifications.
I think I tested on 6.10 snap, but not entirely sure.
Thanks for keepin this open as a possible improvement. We should probably document that. I will create a doco BZ for that.
- Target version deleted (
Katello Backlog)
- Status changed from New to Resolved
Closing since the BZ is closed.
