RPM Support

When asked to sync http://debuginfo.centos.org/7/x86_64/ Pulp complains about "Malformed repository: metadata is missing for some packages in filelists.xml and in other.xml" yet yum will happily install packages from it.

I have created a static mirror of that repo (

with wget --mirror --no-parent --level 3 --accept .rpm,repodata,.xml,.xml.gz,.sqlite.bz2 --domains debuginfo.centos.org --directory-prefix /var/www/html/staticmirror http://debuginfo.centos.org/7/x86_64/

) at http://fiction.it.liu.se/debuginfo.centos.org/7/x86_64/ and Pulp makes the same compaints when trying to sync that repo and yum will install packages from there as well.

% pulp-admin rpm repo list --detail --repo-id centos-7-x86_64-base-debuginfo
