Description

A simple check that the repodata (yum metadata) for a given repository is valid.


How to test

  1. open repodata/repomd.xml
  2. confirm that there is a <data> element with type="primary" or type="primary_db"
  3. confirm that there is a <data> element with type="filelists" or type="filelists_db"
  4. confirm that there is a <data> element with type="other" or type="other_db"
  5. confirm that there is a <data> element with type="group" or type="group_gz"
  6. For each element listed above, check that the file listed in the <location> element is:
    • present,
    • non-empty, and
    • matches the checksum listed in the <checksum> element

Expected Results

  1. repomd.xml exists
  2. repomd.xml contains entries for primary, filelists, group, and other metadata
  3. the files referenced in those entries are present, non-empty, and match the listed checksums
