Hi Pablo, hi list,

sorry for the delay, i got distracted by another task :/

I wonder how much effort / costs it would take to enable YaST style Repos in Uyuni / SuMa?

Unfortunately the information you asked for isn't present (anymore?):

dehwlluyunip01:~ # cd /var/cache/rhn/reposync/1/hpe_foundation_workaround_repo/var/cache/zypp/raw/
dehwlluyunip01:/var/cache/rhn/reposync/1/hpe_foundation_workaround_repo/var/cache/zypp/raw # ll hpe*
total 0
dehwlluyunip01:/var/cache/rhn/reposync/1/hpe_foundation_workaround_repo/var/cache/zypp/raw # ll|grep hpe
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 6 Jun 22 21:14 hpe-foundation-workaround
dehwlluyunip01:/var/cache/rhn/reposync/1/hpe_foundation_workaround_repo/var/cache/zypp/raw #


i changed repo label in uyuni and linked it to a new channel (again with type "yum"). Here's the output i got:

dehwlluyunip01:~ #  spacewalk-repo-sync --type yum --channel hpe-foundation-remote-yast
15:16:50 ======================================

In the meantime i was able to use a local copy of hpe-foundation-2.4.5-cd1-media-sles15sp3-x86_64.iso with added yum metadata ("createrepo sgi/x86_64/") as a base for my CLM channel. This seems to be a valid workaround if one doesn't need patches synced automatically and yast-exclusive features like patterns.

Heiner, could you please list the content of this path on your Uyuni server:

/var/cache/rhn/reposync/1/hpe_foundation_workaround_repo/var/cache/zypp/r
aw/hpe-foundation-workaround/repodata/

I want to see the actual metatada downloaded by Zypper, as I see it was
able to read the metadata for the repository but somehow reposync failed
processing it

I have no clear idea about if this types of repos are explicitely
supported or not.
