Steve Koppelman updated JENKINS-13711:
--------------------------------------
Description:
The yum repo at http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat is missing the yum metadata,
which IIRC should be located in {{repodata/repomd.xml}} relative to the base of
the repo.
Without this file, many yum operations, including installs, fail. In our case,
we use Red Hat Satellite to replicate repos for intranet use, as individual
nodes cannot install software directly over the internet. Replication via the
reposync utility fails because this metadata file is not present.
A yum repo is more than a directory of package files. It also serves an index
containing package metadata so that client systems can check for updates and
resolve dependencies without downloading the packages themselves.
Please generate the {{repodata/}} directory and its constituent files.. and
regenerate the files whenever new RPMs are released. This is usually done with
the {{createrepo}} utility either directly or as part of the publish process.
