Debian Support

I started a setup on prem with the following packages:

pulp-deb (2.0.0b4) pulp-file (0.1.0) pulp-rpm (3.0.0) pulpcore (3.0.1)

running on CentOS 7

RPM plugin works well. For DEB i pretty much do the same things -

• create repository
• upload artifacts
• create content from the artifacts
• create publication and distribution.

All the steps above seem to work OK.

then i add the following configuration to the client:

cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lightos.list << EOF
deb [trusted=yes] http://repo00/pulp/content/yogev/yogev/workspace_duros/deb/ default all
EOF

and run

apt update

i get the following response from running update:

Ign:1 http://repo00/pulp/content/yogev/yogev/workspace_duros/deb default InRelease

W: Invalid 'Date' entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/repo00_pulp_content_yogev_yogev_workspace%5fduros_deb_dists_default_Release

I can see my files under http://repo00/pulp/content/yogev/yogev/workspace_duros/deb/pool/

I can see that the release file is pointing to these files.

but when i run:

apt install lightos-monitoring

i get the following error:

root@7a4bbdfe4f20:/wd# apt install lightos-monitoring
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

E: Unable to locate package lightos-monitoring

After reading the pulp-deb docs I fail to see what I'm missing.

Questions:

1. i get a working about the Date not up to date - why? does it metter?
2. i can't seem to control the codename and the distribution - there is no mentioning about these attributes in the help of pulp-deb.
3. I see in the code that there is API for release_file but i don't see any docs or example on how to use it.
4. I fail to install the packages even though I uploaded the deb files to the repo.
