CentOS 7 & 8 EPEL repo sync issues

Support
#1

Hello!

I noticed today that my CentOS 7 and 8 EPEL repos are not syncing and the error message is

This repository uses features which are incompatible with 'mirror' sync. Please sync without mirroring enabled.

Does that mean, that i have to disable “Mirror on sync” or is there another way to fix this ?

Versions:
Foreman - 3.0.0
Katello - 4.2.0.1

#2

I think that’s exactly what it means, Im not familiar of another way to keep that enabled and sync succesfully.

#3

Okay. So if disable “Mirror of sync”, then it begins to consume more disk space (as i understand, it will keep the older version of packages as well). Is there a way to do some clean up after some time period ?

#4

I think the latest pulp-rpm package should handle that. At least, I have read something about this in the changelog…

#5

I updated all my packages today and including python3-pulp-rpm package ( python3-pulp-rpm-3.14.6-2) :thinking:
But it didnt solve my issue.

#6

And you have restarted after the update?

#7

I just tried myself. You are right. It still shows the error. See This repository uses features which are incompatible with ‘mirror’ sync

#8

Thanks for testing and also sharing the topic, that I didn’t notice before :slight_smile:
Lets wait the fix or that third mode.
