  • 1.  reposync does not find rpms in AIX OS specific repos

    Posted Mon October 10, 2022 04:05 AM
    Hi, 

    While I'm able to reposync (and createrepo) from the generic AIX_Toolbox repo, I'm unable to find any rpms in the OS specific repos.

    I know a similar config was working a couple of years ago when I set it up, but I've lost the old configs now. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here?
    This is my yum.conf:
    [main]
    keepcache=1
    debuglevel=10
    obsoletes=1
    timeout=120
    retries=10
    reposdir=""
    exactarch=1
    [AIX_Toolbox]
    name=AIX generic repository
    baseurl=https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0
    [AIX_Toolbox_noarch]
    name=AIX noarch repository
    baseurl=https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/noarch/
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0
    [AIX_Toolbox_61]
    name=AIX 6.1 specific repository
    baseurl=https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-6.1/
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0
    [AIX_Toolbox_71]
    name=AIX 7.1 specific repository
    baseurl=https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-7.1/
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0
    [AIX_Toolbox_72]
    name=AIX 7.2 specific repository
    baseurl=https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc-7.2/
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0

    But for OS specific, in this example AIX_Toolbox_72, packages are 0.

    I should add the above setup is on a linux host as it's the only one with internet access.

    " Repo-excluded" . Maybe some yum plugin ( like versionlock ) is creating the issue. Can you check whether any yum plugins installed in the machine ?

    I can't see this plugin installed.

    But I'm also using a separate yum.conf as shown in the original post. Also here's the output with --noplugins

    There's no trace of versionlock anywhere on the system. (See previous post)

    The AIX_Toolbox repo also only has 5 packages. Everything else seems to be excluded.

    This does not happen on AIX. I think there is some setting in Linux environment that is excluding all the packages. 
    Unfortunately it is not saying reason for exclusion. 
    Can you try with "--disableexcludes=all" option in yum and see if that works.

    --disableexcludes=all did not make any difference.

    Hi Dennis,

    Please verify if you have ran the reposync with "-a" option as below.

    reposync -p <target_path> -r AIX_Toolbox -a ppc

    You have also mentioned that only 5 RPMS are being shown in the repository path.
    It means reposync was not able to sync all the rpms correctly ?
    It could be possible that the repo data files and the number of RPMS present repository path is out of sync.

    reposync which you are using is based on the YUM or DNF ?

    Hi Sangamesh,

    specifying -a ppc with reposync has resolved the issue!

    Being a linux box it was previously only looking for the current system's x86 arch packages.

    The reposync on the linux host is YUM based not DNF.

    Thanks
