I believe it is set up in the modules.yaml file in the repository but it may also be helped/done with some rpm headers. I think it is meant to protect you from say a perl-foo-1.2.3 which was built for perl-5.24 when you have perl-5.26. It may also allow the module owner to say 'yes I know you could install cobbler-N but I don't want to support that if you are using my thing'. Basically a side point of 'yes I built a cobbler to make this thing, but I odn't want to ship a cobbler.. if they want it they can make their own module with it.' I leave it as an exercise to the reader when someone doesn't realize this, builds the kernel, glibc, bash, etc for their module but doesn't want to ship that.. and puts it in the filter -- Stephen J Smoogen. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
Re: module package exclusion behavior on EL8
Dne 11. 10. 19 v 1:27 Orion Poplawski napsal(a): I continue to run into strange (at least to me) issues with modules on EL8. RHEL8 ships a 'rhn-tools' module that ships only the "koan" package from the cobbler srpm [1]. When this module is enabled, I cannot install cobbler from my copr - dnf reports that 'cobbler' is excluded. Can someone fill me in more on this.? Is this expected? I don't see anything in the module file (assuming I have the right module file) that specifically calls out cobbler for exclusion (such as a filter entry) - so is it just automatically creating an exclusion for all unshipped packages? There is very little feedback from dnf - the cobbler package simply disappears: When package with name FOO exists in a module, then package FOO from normal repos is masked. This is by design. I learn it the hard way when we have been asked to implement module_hotfixes in Copr.

module package exclusion behavior on EL8
I continue to run into strange (at least to me) issues with modules on EL8. RHEL8 ships a 'rhn-tools' module that ships only the "koan" package from the cobbler srpm [1]. When this module is enabled, I cannot install cobbler from my copr - dnf reports that 'cobbler' is excluded. Can someone fill me in more on this.? Is this expected? I don't see anything in the module file (assuming I have the right module file) that specifically calls out cobbler for exclusion (such as a filter entry) - so is it just automatically creating an exclusion for all unshipped packages? There is very little feedback from dnf - the cobbler package simply disappears: # dnf list cobbler Available Packages cobbler.noarch 3.0.1-2.el8 copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:orion:cobbler cobbler.src 3.0.1-2.el8 copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:orion:cobbler # dnf module enable rhn-tools # dnf list cobbler Available Packages cobbler.src 3.0.1-2.el8 copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:orion:cobbler # dnf install cobbler No match for argument: cobbler What then does this imply for us being able to provide a cobbler module (or just package) for EPEL? 1 - https://git.centos.org/modules/rhn-tools/blob/c8-stream-1.0/f/rhn-tools.yaml -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/ smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
