Closes pulp#456 pulp#456 When a repo uses "No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packages" style format, we should not warn about all architecture packages in architecture specific package indices! They are expected to be there! We still skip those packages since there is no need to download them twice! When a mirror mirrors metadata indicating "No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packages" format, while failing to mirror the binary-all package indices we introduce special handling to ensure we nevertheless sync "Architecture: all" packages.

Many upstream repos declare the
No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packagesoption in their release file. For example, most official Debian bullseye repos.This format results in a number of edge cases requiring special handling.
For example, we should not warn about
Architecture: allpackages in architecture specific indices for such repos.Even more problematically, deb-mirror may mirror the metadata indicating
No-Support-for-Architecture-all: Packagesformat, while failing to mirror thebinary-allpackage indices (which actually results in "old style repo format" while declaring "mixed style repo format"). This two requires special handling, or theArchitecture: allpackages will either not be synced or cause outright sync failures for such mirrors! (which depends on the value ofignore_missing_package_indices).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
