QA:Testcase Media Repoclosure

Associated release criterion

This test case is associated with the Release_Criteria#no-broken-packages release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.

Description

This testcase will verify that the offline repository included on release blocking images will not contain broken dependencies.

Setup

  1. Obtain access to an environment with the dnf repoclosure command.
  2. Download the ISO to be tested to that machine.

How to test

  1. Mount the ISO to be tested locally.
    • Example:
      mount -o loop Rocky-8.5-x86_64-minimal.iso /media
  2. Determine the path to the repodata directory(ies) on the ISO.
    • Example:
      find /media -name repodata
  3. Run the dnf repoclosure command on the mounted ISO.
    • Example:
      dnf --verbose repoclosure --repofrompath BaseOS,/media/BaseOS --repo BaseOS --repofrompath Minimal,/media/Minimal --repo Minimal
  4. Unmount the ISO.
    • Example:
      umount /media

Expected Results

  1. The dnf repoclosure command does not generate any errors.

Sample Output

$ sudo mount -o loop Rocky-8.5-x86_64-minimal.iso /media
mount: /media: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ dnf --refresh repoclosure \
  --repofrompath BaseOS,/media/BaseOS --repo BaseOS \
  --repofrompath Minimal,/media/Minimal --repo Minimal
Added BaseOS repo from /media/BaseOS
Added Minimal repo from /media/Minimal
BaseOS                                               102 MB/s | 2.6 MB     00:00
Minimal                                               90 kB/s | 384  B     00:00

$ sudo umount /media

NOTE: In this example the content of the Rocky-8.5-x86_64-minimal.iso was copied to /tmp then the BaseOS repository was modified to remove the setup-2.12.2-6.el8.noarch.rpm package and the repository metadata was regenerated.

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ dnf --refresh repoclosure \
  --repofrompath BaseOS,/tmp/media/BaseOS --repo BaseOS \
  --repofrompath Minimal,/tmp/media/Minimal --repo Minimal
Added BaseOS repo from /tmp/media/BaseOS
Added Minimal repo from /tmp/media/Minimal
