Uploading asc files to YUM repositories no longer possible

[jeanmichelfischer]

We would like to sign hosted YUM repositories, as described for example for the YUM proxy repositories in the documentation.

To do this, we uploaded the repomd.xml.asc files (manually/via the API). However, in the latest versions of Nexus3 it is no longer possible to upload .asc files.

This means that signing is no longer possible. Is there a solution to this, or are we missing something?

The error message, if you try to upload asc-files, is:
Unsupported assetKind: REPOMD_ASC

Hi @jeanmichelfischer - thanks for opening an issue. Can you provide some more detail about which version you used when this type of asset was supported?

[jeanmichelfischer]

Hi @nblair - I can only track it down to it was working at Version OSS 3.29.0-02 and not working from Version OSS 3.49.0-02 anymore. This might not be the exact versions when it stopped working, but it might be a hint.

Hi !
Same issue with a brand new install of the last version nexus-3.69.0-02-java11-unix.
Anyone on this issue ?

EDIT :
FInally it seems if I create a group linked to my repository I have a .asc file already in the group and I'm able to upload a need .rpm with the pgp signature
