Description
This test case ensures that the repodata generated by createrepo_c is usable by dnf.
Setup
Ensure you have a directory from the previous createrepo_c test containing the generated repodata and that dnf is installed on the system.
How to test
- Navigate to your repository directory:
cd /path/to/my/repo. - Add this local directory as a repository for DNF:
''echo -e "[localtest]\nname=Local test repo\nbaseurl=file:///path/to/my/repo\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=0" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/localtest.repo''
- Execute: $ sudo dnf clean all to clean the DNF cache.
- Check your repositories with:
dnf repolist. - Make sure the localtest repository appears.
- Try to list the available packages from your local repository:
dnf --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="localtest" list available. - Pick a package from the list (let's call it mypackage) and attempt to install it:
sudo dnf --enablerepo="localtest" install mypackage.
Expected Results
- You should see a new repository configuration file in
/etc/yum.repos.d/. - The dnf repolist command should show localtest in its output.
- The final command should list the packages from your local repository without any error.
- The command to list packages should display the packages in your local repository without errors.
- The package mypackage should be installed without any issues from the local repository.
Optional
For exploratory testing:
- Try installing a package from the local repo.
- Try searching for a package in the local repo.
