It's similiar but not the same as the droplist for openSUSE, so I created
a fork of the openSUSE command
To be called with the target project as first argument and then a
list of old projects
e.g. create_sle_weakremovers SUSE:SLE-15:GA SUSE:SLE-12-SP3:GA \
SUSE:SLE-12-SP3:Update SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:GA SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update ...
That check is aiming to check request rather than package, for release package
we indeed had multispecs and multibuild file together, just do not run
local service when committing to release package.
Ended up consistently creating a short XML file that created a null section
in solv file that cause pkglistgen drop list generator to create a <NULL>
drop entry.
Always flush() before you read(). :(
It certainly would have been nice if libsolv would have complained about
an invalid XML file rather than just producing garbage as the file just
ended. Then of course mergesolv did not complain and comes back in to
python as '<NULL>'. Failure to validate and multiple levels.
Always pull down update repo and only overwrite if changed. Could rework
more extensively to name based on hash of repomd.xml or somesuch, but would
likely also want to remove old versions.
UNWANTED is a bit heavy weapon to filter unsorted.yml, so leave
its role to packages we sure don't want (e.g. -mini and -bootstrap
packages). Packages that are there but would end in unsorted otherwise,
filter by means of package regular expressions in unneeded.yml
The format of that file is yml with a list of groups of regular
expressions.
global:
- .*-32bit
texlive:
- texlive.*
In order to generate a complete drop list the nonfree repository must also
be cached for both current and published builds. The solv files are then
merged and used to generate drop list.
This allows for generating solv cache for Leap versions prior to 15.0
which avoids the need to have them checked into git like previous
package-lists repository.
Replace config option pkglistgen-delete-kiwis by
pkglistgen-delete-kiwis-$scope. The main project needs all kiwis while
in Rings and Stagings we don't want the ftp tree for example.
