-----------------------------------
Summary: Add yum repo "awareness" to repoman
Key: OVIRT-1091
URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1091
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: repoman
Reporter: Barak Korren
Assignee: infra
{{repoman}} currently has no support for {{yum}} repos at all. When it gets a
URL as a package source, {{repoman}} currently first attempts to detect if that
URL is a Jenkins job, and if not, it just tries to download the artefact
directly from the URL. To use a {{yum}} repo with {{repoman}}, one need to
explicitly specify the '{{rec:}}' flag, to make it search for artifacts
recursively.
Full {{yum}} support in {{repoman}} can have many features, such as reading the
{{yum}} metadata files to figure out which packages are in the repo, and
preforming version calculations prior to downloading packages. This ticket is
not about that.
This ticket suggests a simpler implementation to make {{repoman}} "aware" of
{{yum}} repos to make it slightly easier to use and reduce user surprise while
full {{yum}} support is being developed.
It is suggested that when receiving a source URL, {{repoman}} will check for a
'{{*/repodata/repomd.xml}}' file in a similar fashion to the way it checks for
the Jenkins API, and if found will act as if the '{{rec:}}' flag was specified.
