Error importing repomd.xml

[Andrey Kirilochkin]

Our customer has no internet access on Bare-metal lab, only proxy.
After some changes(6.1 rc3) behavior of fuel-master was changed,
now it is trying to update yourself using internet(external repos).

[root@fuel nailgun]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/mos6.1*
[mos6.1-security]
name=mos6.1-security
baseurl=http://mirror.fuel-infra.org/mos/centos-6/mos6.1/security/

We are trying to install fuel plugin in customer environment.

[root@fuel ~]# fuel plugins --install gamma-lcp-ui-1.3-1.3.12-1.noarch.rpm

Marking gamma-lcp-ui-1.3-1.3.12-1.noarch.rpm to be installed

After these warnings plugin installed, but we do not have possibility to upgrade/delete packages using FUEL-CLI,
 we have to remove rpm's using rpm and clean package artifacts by-hand.

This behavior breaks update mechanism and some tests.

Hi Andrey,

if you use proxy for Internet access you need to configure this proxy for yum tool. To do this, you need to edit file /etc/yum.conf and add the following strings to this file (proxy address, port and credentials will depends on your environment):

# The proxy server - proxy server:port number
proxy=http://mycache.mydomain.com:3128
# The account details for yum connections
proxy_username=yum-user
proxy_password=qwerty

More details:
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html

But, of course, we have a bug - if we successfully installed plugin we need to support uninstallation and updates for this plugin and dependencies.

We need to add logic which will check the Internet connectivity and use external mirrors only if we have the Internet access.
Confirmed and assigned to Fuel-Python team.

Timur, please check if this bug can be reproduced on 7.0 ISO

[Nastya Urlapova (aurlapova)]

@Timur, any updates are there?

[Timur Nurlygayanov (tnurlygayanov)]

yes, this bug is actual for the latest MOS releases too. We need to implement logic to use proxy for requirements download.

Guys, guys.. What do you mean here? I have no idea what's wrong here.

I think it's obvious that without Internet the yum's warning is ok.

And for the last words -

   """After these warnings plugin installed, but we do not have possibility to upgrade/delete packages using FUEL-CLI,
 we have to remove rpm's using rpm and clean package artifacts by-hand."""

AFAIK, it's by design. Users MUST update their plugins using "yum" workflow, not fuel cli.

Move it to Incomplete until I figure out what's wrong.

I've checked with bug reporter and we agreed to close the bug.
