Hello,

I discovered that my RHEL5 client wasn't able to utilize the "updateinfo"
metadata on my repo (for commands like "yum list-security"), but otherwise
the repo seemed to be working OK.  I took a look at the repodata and
noticed that these data types had <checksum type="sha256">:
group
updateinfo
productid

And these had <checksum type="sha">:
filelists
primary
other
filelists_db
primary_db
other_db

I hadn't specified the checksum-type when I created the repo, so I tried
forcing it to sha:

pulp-admin rpm repo update --repo-id=rhel-5-x86_64-os --checksum-type=sha
pulp-admin rpm repo publish run --repo-id=rhel-5-x86_64-os

But that didn't change the repomd.xml contents (other than the revision and
timestamps).  I also tried --checksum-type=sha1 and --checksum-type=sha256,
but nothing seemed to have any effect.

This may be related to this open bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=953248

Are either of these (RHEL5 clients not understanding updateinfo.xml data,
and the group/updateinfo/productid always using sha256) expected or known
issues?

Thanks,
Christina
