Update usability support for RHEL7

[agmt]

Added dist's options: sslkey, sslcert.
INFO: #71

This works for me : I can use an existing server's key/cert in order to clone the repos it has access to using mrepo (and lftp, since it's https URLs).

[wernermaes]

I'll give it a try as well. Can you still clone older repos as well with this adapted code?

[wernermaes]

Hello

It seems to work to clone the repo but the command "mrepo -u -v" does not exit, Strace shows a timeout

[wernermaes]

It also does not cleanup older versions of the same package.

[wernermaes]

Found a way to cleanup using repomanage

So script seems to work like this

/usr/bin/mrepo -uvvv |tee /root/mrepo-output &
i="0"
while [ $i -lt 8 ]
do
sleep 600 # Time necessary to fetch packages (increase if necessary)
pidof lftp | xargs kill -9
i=$[$i+1]
done
cd /repo/src/rhel7-server-x86_64
for i in $(ls);do rm -f $(repomanage --old $i/Packages/)| tee -a /root/mrepo-output ;done
for i in $(ls); do createrepo -p $i | tee -a /root/mrepo-output;done

Kind regards

Previous script is based on 8 channels (extra, supplementary,...). Therefore the 8 iterations

I was able to resolve the issues with lftp hanging, finally without the script wrapper for mrepo. This is by changing the /etc/lftp.conf to include the following reasonable values to tolerate small disruptions, but to give up and move on at the end of the file transfers:
set net:idle 5m
set net:max-retries 10
set net:timeout 5m

[wernermaes]

I'll give this a try and let you know

[wernermaes]

Hello

This seems to work, althought it takes more time. Maybe I should reduce net:max-retries

But did anyone find a solution where lftp only downloads the latest version of a package and not all as seen below?
xulrunner-24.5.0-1.el7.i686.rpm
xulrunner-24.5.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
xulrunner-24.6.0-1.el7_0.i686.rpm
xulrunner-24.6.0-1.el7_0.x86_64.rpm
xulrunner-24.7.0-1.el7_0.i686.rpm
xulrunner-24.7.0-1.el7_0.x86_64.rpm
xulrunner-24.8.0-1.el7_0.i686.rpm
xulrunner-24.8.0-1.el7_0.x86_64.rpm

I do lots of post processing after mrepo runs. I would stick with repomanage to do the work. Dropping the retries down, and the timeout will speed things up, however it will be less tolerant of network interruptions.

Hi @dagwieers

Are you still maintaining this?

[AbhishekKataria]

I see no official centos7 release rpm for mrepo. So it is safe to use mrepo-el6 for the same?
Where can I get one for el7? Is there any alternatives I can use?

[wernermaes]

Hello I think it’s no problem to use mrepo-el6 on centos7. I don’t know whether there is still development being done on mrepo Kind regards Werner Maes Van: Abhishek Kataria [mailto:notifications@github.com] Verzonden: dinsdag 24 januari 2017 3:31 Aan: dagwieers/mrepo <mrepo@noreply.github.com> CC: wernermaes <werner@kuleuven.be>; Comment <comment@noreply.github.com> Onderwerp: Re: [dagwieers/mrepo] Update usability support for RHEL7 (#75) I see no official centos7 release rpm for mrepo.

Hi Werner, Thanks for your answer. I appreciate it.

I used the software on rhel7 almost 2 years ago, it worked well. I had to compile and build an install from source. If you get stuck I still have my notes.
