deleterpm

I tried to remove an rpm from the repository but got an ERROR:

# repoclient deleterpm REPONAME x86_64/PACKAGENAME
ERROR: Got unexpected status code 401. Expected 204.

401 indicates missing authentication. The repoclient does not automatically ask for authentication in that case. Did you do that from a whitelisted host? If so, that sounds like a bug. If not use --username= option to authenticate. Repoclient will than ask for a password interactively.

Hi,

Not sure if that's the problem, but FWIW the yum-repo-server API expects the full RPM filename, not just the package name.

e.G. repoclient deleterpm REPO x86_64/my-awesome-software-1.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm

The easiest way to do this is copy-paste the RPM filename from the repo list view.

Edit: Oops, I read 404, not 401.

But than it is a bug to reply with a 401 and not with a 404.

@oli99sc yes I think your reply was spot-on. I misread the 401.

[oli99sc]

@mriehl you were also right, in the yum-repo-server API, the resource responsible for the delete call only matches on a path ending with .rpm. If this is true, it always answers with a 204. Either because the file is now deleted or it was not there and stil is deleted :-).

Hi,

ghna had to edit my previous comment since the authentication was indeed the issue.

Thanks for the help :s :)

There's the textual HTTP status code in parens now, so that it's easier to understand. Seems that tomcat provides more helpful error messages in the response body, BTW, but I think it's good to have the status text just after the status code anyway.

mriehl@machine ~ $ repoclient deleterpm foorepo foobar
