Greetings.
Of late openoffice.org and a few other packages have been not generating delta rpms in pushes. ;(
They error with:
Error genDeltaRPM for chunkd: exitcode was 256 - Reported Error: bad cpio archive
But looking later at both rpms, things seem fine. ;(
I've talked with jdieter and we would like to add in more debugging:
<jdieter> nirik: We're still having the "bad cpio archive" with openoffice.org updates <jdieter> I have a patched version of deltarpm available at: http://www.lesloueizeh.com/jdieter/deltarpm-3.6-0.1.20101230git.fc14.src.rpm <jdieter> If run with -vv, it will report old rpm, new rpm, and tell us what the actual first six bytes of what's actually in the rpm <jdieter> vs the 070701 that it's supposed to be <jdieter> I don't have an el6 system, so it will have to be rebuilt for releng2 <jdieter> /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/createrepo/deltarpms.py needs to modified as well <jdieter> The line with "makedeltarpm -v" needs to be changed to "makedeltarpm -vv"
epel5 scratch build at: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2694315 (releng02 is rhel5).
If I can get enough +'s I'd be happy to put this in place whenever. Otherwise we can wait until next week after the freeze.
If this totally breaks, it won't break creation of repositories just the creation of deltarpms for the repos, correct? If that's correct, +1 from me.
