Hey, I’m on Pulp v2.21.
Use case is pretty simple. We have multiple, globally positioned pulp servers which are setup to replicate the master. We have a GSLB which route requests to the closest datacenter. Since each of the Pulp servers publish repodata/packages.xml.gz + others in a seemingly random order, the sha hash makes a different filename on each regional. Trying to see if packages can be populated in alphabetical order so all the repodata folders are consistent. You can easily replicate this. pulp-admin rpm repo publish run --repo-id <some_repo> --force Each time you’ll get a different set of repodata files even though the content doesn’t change.

Thank you, Tanya On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 10:44 PM Chris Taylor (chtaylo2) <[email protected]> wrote: We have a Pulp server which acts as a master content provider. Subsequently we have global sites, running their own Pulp server which sync directly from the master. I’m finding during the publishing, each of the repodata/*XML* files have packages in random orders. For example: Site 1: $ curl https://<server1>/repodata/8da5461a50987cce81ca57a4e699edc64815c45024416cb74bdd431fd4748a31-primary.xml.gz | gunzip | grep '<name>' | head -n3 <name>atomic-registries</name> <name>ansible</name> <name>cockpit-packagekit</name> Site 2: $ curl https://<server2>/repodata/79524dc840b7c913836ccc44d06ae0c5a3235abfde8d2af6a59bdc0f5a7e6c5b-primary.xml.gz | gunzip | grep '<name>' | head -n3 <name>docker-client</name> <name>cockpit-machines</name> <name>kubernetes-client</name> If you do a SORT + md5sum on the above files, they match so the order on the publishing is causing this. Is there any way to force consistent/alphabetical ordering of packages in these files?
