Issue #6147
Updated by dalley almost 5 years ago
The serializer does the correct thing, because the serializer does not use Repository.latest_version()

However, underneath the hood, Pulp and plugin writers might have a problem, because if the "latest version" was deleted, Repository.latest_version() will return "None" instead of the one prior to the deleted one.
~~~
In [1]: RpmRepository.objects.all()[1].latest_version()
In [2]: RepositoryVersion.objects.filter(repository=RpmRepository.objects.all()[1])
Out[2]: <QuerySet [<Repository: targetrepo; Version: 0>]>
In [3]: RpmRepository.objects.all()[1].last_version
Out[3]: 1
~~~
So what the JSON API returns and what the internal APIs return do not match up.
Anything that uses the internal APIs to find the latest version, like copy (what I'm working on) or probably distributions (though I haven't tested it) will run into this issue.
