Hi,
a user found an inconsistency in the ChannelSerializer.
Calling channel.software.associateRepo() return a channel struct
which contains the key "yumrepo_last_sync". It is documented as
dateTime.iso8601 . But the result for a "never synced" channel is an empty
"string".
The reason can be found in
java/.../rhn/frontend/xmlrpc/serializer/ChannelSerializer.java Line 125
In case getLastSynced() returns null, an empty string is added via the helper
and not a Date object.
I see two possible fixes:
1) return "new Date(0)" instead of an empty string (01/01/1970)
2) break the API and declare "yumrepo_last_sync" as optional and do not return
this key in case the repo was not synced yet.
Which fix would you prefer? Are there other possible fixes?
