yumrepoinfo_directive - translate Koji tags into YUM repository URLs

New in version 0.4.

Translate a Koji tag into a set of YUM repositories. This is useful when you want to work with YUM metadata for a specific Fedora repository, but you only know its Koji tag.

Parameters

parameter	required	description	type	default	choices
arch	yes	list of architectures. In this list, all "meta architectures" like all, src and noarch are ignored, list of "real architectures" is expected there (e.g. x86_64 or i386).	list of str
koji_tag	yes	name of the Koji tag, e.g. f20, f20-updates, f20-updates-testing, or rawhide. If the tag ends with -pending suffix, this suffix is stripped (because pending tags are not real repositories), and the resulting tag is used.	str

Return Values

A dictionary of dictionaries. Main key is koji_tag with value of dictionary that contains arch as key and URL for the respective repository is its value.

If the repository in question has some parent repositories (e.g. f20-updates is a child of f20), all its parents names and their repository URLs are returned in the dictionary as well as additional keys. Example:

{'f20': {'x86_64': 'http://...',
         'i386': 'http://...'},
 'f20-updates': {'x86_64': 'http://...',
                 'i386': 'http://...'}}

Exceptions

• TaskotronDirectiveError: if there are zero “real architectures” inside arch or when koji_tag is not found among known repositories.

Examples

For a koji tag received from the command line, get a list of its YUM repositories and save it to a variable:

- name: get yum repos
  yumrepoinfo:
      koji_tag: ${koji_tag}
      arch: ${arch}
  export: yumrepos

Now you can pass ${yumrepos} dictionary to your python script and run your check:

- name: run my check
  python:
      file: my_check.py
      callable: run
      repos: ${yumrepos}
      arch: ${arch}
  export: my_check_output
