RPM Support

Issue #9587

Updated by ttereshc over 2 years ago

Hello All 

 I am currently developing an Ansible playbook to upload custom RPM packages to specific pulp repositories. It uses the pulp.squeezer collection and some API calls.   
 
 For this I have used the following documentations: https://docs.pulpproject.org/pulp_rpm/workflows/upload.html & https://docs.pulpproject.org/pulp_rpm/restapi.html#operation/ 

 Following the upload of the file, the creation of rpm content and the association of the content with the desired repository, the change to the repository is published and distributed.    
  
 However, when Pulp is invoked via the browser, it becomes apparent that the package is not displayed with the actual package name, but with its "location_href" from the metadata.   

 

 Below you can find a snippet from the metadata of one of the affected packages: 

 ~~~

 </package> 
 ~~~ 

 The package is located at <location href="Packages/f/fcbdc174-f1f4-4277-8913-3e2ce843e028"/> (as mentioned in the metadata). The desired place would look something like this: <location href="Packages/a/amsd-2.5.0-1675.24.rhel8.x86_64.rpm"/> 

 The package can be found and installed via clients, but this makes it more difficult to understand.   
 
 I unfortunately didn't find anything in the documentation about this. 

 I therefore wanted to ask what the reason for this is and how to fix it. 

 Thanks in advance for the answer.
