Missing docs on how to import RPM package which has rich dependencies in Requires
Description
Rich dependencies are also called boolean dependencies.
Docs to get familiar with the syntax: http://rpm.org/user_doc/boolean_dependencies.html
At the moment Pulp supports only strong dependencies (aka Requires), weak dependencies are not supported yet.
For testing purposes create at least one rpm with rich dependencies and a repo. Consider contributing to the pulp-fixtures to create a repo.
Example of creating a simple RPM: https://www.redhat.com/archives/rpm-list/2006-April/msg00015.html
Make sure sync, upload, publish of such package works, information about rich dependencies is listed correctly as other simple dependencies, depsolving for simple dependencies works as before and rich dependencies are just ignored in that case (depsolving for rich dependencies will be implemented later in a separate RFE).
Use rpm module to read all the dependencies. There is no need to parse them or process somehow for this RFE.

Findings¶
My set up was as follows:
- Fedora26 hosting a development deployment of Pulp 2.15.1 & Pulp_rpm 2.15, installed as development environment
- Fedora28 consumer node, SSL validation switched off
- an RPM repository containing custom rpms with rich dependencies
Those rpms can be built based on a pulp-fixtures PR with e.g rpmbuild -bb <spec_file> and later turned into a repository using e.g createrepo_c <directory_with_rpms>
Content upload¶
Uploading the custom repository content to an RPM repository works as expected.
The repository id used for this purpose was rich-deps
Content sync&publish¶
I created a repo rich-deps-synced that I was able to feed from the successfully published rich-deps repo
Content copy¶
Content copy works as expected, rich dependencies are currently ignored when processing the Requires rpm field during a recursive content copy.
There was a custom PanAmerican rpm in the rich-deps repo, that had both rich and classic dependencies specified in the Requires attribute.
This rpm required directly (bourbon = 5.10 and tablespoon-sugar = 1.0), lemon-juice = 5.10-0, soda and transitively the lemon rpm.
I created the rich-deps-copy-pan-american and copied the rich-deps repo PanAmerican rpm into rich-deps-copy-pan-american repo, using following command line:
[vagrant@pulp2 rich-deps]$ pulp-admin rpm repo copy rpm --from-repo-id rich-deps --to-repo-id rich-deps-copy-pan-american --str-eq='name=PanAmerican' --recursive
This command may be exited via ctrl+c without affecting the request.
[\]
Running...
Copied:
PanAmerican-1-0-noarch
soda-0-1-noarch
[vagrant@pulp2 rich-deps]$
Having investigated why the lemon-juice wasn't copied, I found out I made a naming mistake in the Requires field of PanAmerican that should have read ..., lemon-juice5 = 5.10, soda instead. The soda dependency having been copied OK I thought that was a proof of the copy feature working OK so I didn't fix the PanAmerican rpm.
Content details¶
The custom RPM details were shown OK including both the rich and simple dependencies in the Requires field e.g:
[vagrant@pulp2 rich-deps]$ pulp-admin rpm repo content rpm --repo-id rich-deps-copy-pan-american

As can be seen further in the attached log, Pulp didn't track any other field than Requires. Moreover, the Requires field rich dependency items were kept as a single (non-processed) blob of text (bourbon = 5.10 and tablespoon-sugar = 1.0), as expected:
[vagrant@pulp2 rich-deps]$ pulp-admin -vv rpm repo content rpm --repo-id rich-deps --str-eq='name=PanAmerican'

A consumer was able to fetch and install custom RPMs from the rich-deps-synced repository:
sh-4.3# dnf --best install long-drink scotch fruity
