Pulp

Please attach the corresponding XML file from the published repo. You can find it by looking in the "repodata" directory in the base of your published repo, and then look for a file whose name ends in "primary.xml.gz".

After the sync, a publish task should also get queued. It would be helpful to double-check that the publish task didn't report any errors. You could alternatively start a new publish with "pulp-admin rpm repo publish run", and see if that has any errors.

This issue is likely to be a symptom of issue #943, the long running epel long errata title problem saga.
To try to work around #943, I deleted my epel-7-x86_64 repo, and tried to re-create it from scratch.
When I sync epel-7-x86_64, the sync fails in the errata part (error described in issue #943).
Consequently, the repo is not published, and I have no repomd.xml file to send you.

I suspect that what I reported here may be simply that the repomd.xml file was not updated due to the errata error, and that I was seeing an older version.

Perhaps we should consider here: Can we make the publishing behaviour any more robust and useful in the face of adverse conditions?
Is it appropriate or possible to publish the new repomd.xml if the errata is erroneous?

I don't use the errata, so total sync failure caused by bad errata causes me significant frustration.

For now, you can do the following to skip errata during sync:

$ pulp-admin rpm repo update --repo-id=myrepo --skip=errata
