-----------------------------------
Assignee: Anton Marchukov (was: infra)
> 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: Anton Marchukov
>
> {{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.
