packages app not correctly adding new packages

[gsauthof]

When searching for 'vim-x11' or 'vim-X11' 0 results are returned:

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/vim-X11

But dnf search vim-X11 returns something on a Fedora system:

vim-X11.x86_64 : The VIM version of the vi editor for the X Window System

Since this is the oldest report of this bug I am going to duplicate others here.

Yes, we know that packages isn't correctly updating for newly added packages. There is a re-write now in progress by @cverna that will hopefully fix this (and many other) bugs. Stay tuned and we will let folks know when to test. I'll leave to @cverna if there's any coding help we could us right now or not.

[cverna]

Thanks @nirik for going through the tickets. For now code wise we should be I am just waiting on https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/TurboGears2/pull-request/1 to be reviewed and merged.

[nirik]

reviewed and merged that and made f26/f27/rawhide builds.

Will it pickup all new packages which were added while fedora-packages app was broken?

[cverna]

@avsej yes it will, The verison which is currently in production is using pkgdb to get the list of packages, and as you might know pkgdb has been retired and it is not updated. The new verison of fedora-packages is using pdc to get the list of packages.

[avsej]

@cverna any plans when new version will be deployed?

[cverna]

@avsej Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. As you may know there are currently some maintenance work in the fedora-infrastructure. Once these works are finished we will be able to deploy the latest release.

lammps (#307) has a package page now, but newer packages, e.g. mpibash are still missing.

[cverna]

yes i think the mechanism to update the packages is not working :(. I ll try to investigate why

Shot in the dark, it's listening for the fedmsg messages from pkgdb?

[cverna]

There is a fedmsg consumer but apparently it is listening to the mdapi message

https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedora-packages/blob/develop/fedoracommunity/consumers.py#L149

[pypingou]

hm, that looks problematic: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/datagrepper/raw?topic=org.fedoraproject.prod.mdapi.repo.update

[cverna]

So I think we know why this is not working :), any ideas why the mdapi.repo.update fedmsg is not sent anymore ?

[pypingou]

mdapi is sending messages again, let's see if fedora-packages catches them :)
