@op-ct I'm 99% sure that the issue is that the epel-modular material is overriding the AppStream material (I think).

[trevor-vaughan]

In a clean installation, when I enable 389-directory-server then 389-ds-base installs but the other necessary RPMs are missing. When I run the spec test, everything works properly pointing at AppStream.

It doesn't seem like pulp is grabbing the AppStream 389 material.

[trevor-vaughan]

Tried using bolt-pulp3 to only include the epel-modular and AppStream modules but the system hung on Pulp3RpmRepoSlimmer: pagination: 0, total considered: 0/0

[trevor-vaughan]

Not quite sure yet, but it seems like the repo href being called in the slim-pulp-repo-copy.rb is not correct for some reason.

The reference is generated in slim_repos_data_for().

[trevor-vaughan]

Digging further:

• I'm getting into an infinite loop in the do_copy_rpms_into_slim_repos function.
• It's getting hung on the conf.epel-modular.slim repository with the following configuration:

  epel-modular:
  url: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/8/Modular/x86_64/
  modules:
  - stream: 389-directory-server:stable

[trevor-vaughan]

Looks like it may have been an issue with not handling an edge case where there were too few packages to page. However, it's still not downloading the 389DS RPMs

[trevor-vaughan]

Confirmed the edge case, fix incoming
