Would you share a public repo with lzma compressed comps?

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Support for LZMA-compressed comps.xml
I've started trying to bring online a Fedora 21 distro/kickstart
profile against our Spacewalk 2.1 server. Unlike others who have had
trouble getting the fedora installer generation to work, it mostly
seems to be working for me. I'm not sure if that is because I am
using 2.1 instead of 2.2 or if there is some other explanation.
However, one thing I ran into is that when I created a Fedora 21
Everything channel, Spacewalk ended up not handling the comps.xml
properly. In the upstream yum repo, the comps.xml is actually LZMA
compressed. It does not look like Spacewalk decompresses this when
staging the comps in the local file system. Thus, when a client
fetches the repo metadata, it gets a file named comps.xml that is
actually compressed and thus it complains about the XML not being
well formed.
I looked at the Spacewalk git repo and I see that an RPM dependency
was added for pyliblzma. I already have that installed on my system,
but despite that, Spacewalk still does not handle the compressed
comps properly. I dug further into this and found that two python
modules need to be updated, namely reposync.py and fileutils.py.
I would provide a patch with the fixes, although I have to go through
a somewhat lengthy procedure before I can get permission from my
employer to release the patch. Therefore, I'll describe the
necessary changes in case others want to make the same ones (or even
better, get this updated in git).
1. In reposync.py, the list of suffixes in import_groups() needs
to include '.xz'.
2. In fileutils.py, decompress_open() needs to be updated to use
the lzma.LZMAFile() function on files ending in '.xz' (and of
course an import is needed as well).
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Brian Buesker
