As the title says, the repodata folder is not created.

Comment 1 Stoicescu Cornel 2013-02-25 10:33:40 UTC

Update: I see the repodata folder was moved to rpm/<architecture> . Is this correct?

Comment 2 Beth Flanagan 2013-02-26 22:16:13 UTC

I'm not sure if this is correct for rpm generation, but the autobuilder just cp's whatever was created in the tmp/deploy/rpm directory. So, if this is incorrect behavior, this should end up as a bug against core and not the autobuilder.

Comment 3 Paul Eggleton 2013-03-11 22:53:30 UTC

This is an expected change. With the introduction of Smart, we now create an index per package architecture so that we don't have to re-create the whole index every time the list of package architectures changes (which can happen between two different images e.g. in the case of multilib).

Are there test cases or anything else that rely upon this data being available? I'm not sure we should be copying it around.

Comment 4 Stoicescu Cornel 2013-03-12 08:51:49 UTC

There are no test cases in the master branch test plan that require the previous repodata structure. We ware not aware of the change and thus we filed a bug.

I believe we can close as NOTABUG.

Comment 5 Paul Eggleton 2013-03-12 14:39:55 UTC

OK, marking as suggested. Thanks!

Verified as per above comments.
