Pulp

On Fedora 23 at least, I'm not able to reproduce.

$ pulp-admin rpm repo uploads rpm --repo-id=foo --checksum-type=sha1 -f ./zip-3.0-15.fc23.x86_64.rpm
$ pulp-admin rpm repo content rpm --repo-id=foo

Description:  The zip program is a compression and file packaging utility.  Zip
              is analogous to a combination of the UNIX tar and compress
              commands and is compatible with PKZIP (a compression and file
              packaging utility for MS-DOS systems).  Install the zip package if
              you need to compress files using the zip program.

I tried setting the checksum-type on the repo to sha256 and then doing the upload, but it still worked.

I also tried syncing a repo with sha256 checksums, and then uploaded a package to that same repo using sha1. Again it worked.

I also tried uploading a package using sha256, then immediately uploading the same package to the same repo using sha1. It replaced the original, and again I was left with the sha1 unit in the repo.

I also tried uploading a package using sha256, removing it from the repo to make it an orphan, then re-uploading with sha1. That also worked as expected, leaving the sha1 unit in the repo.

If you have any other guidance on how we could reproduce this, please re-open with more info. Thanks for sending the report.

I am indeed able to reproduce the issue, please see the attached verbose upload logs.

This looks like a webservice parameter issue to me : checksum_type has been changed to checksumtype
