Checksum Error when accessing Nexus Yum Repo

[clifford sanders]

Hello,

we use Nexus Yum Plugin 1.17 with Nexus Pro 1.9.2.3 (CentOS 6) and build/upload RPMs with Maven/Jenkins.

If I try to access the Repository from a CentOS 5 box I get:

MyNexus                                                                                                                                      | 3.0 kB     00:00     

MyNexus/primary_db                                                                                                                           | 7.3 kB     00:00     

http://myNexus:8086/nexus/content/repositories/releases/repodata/primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno -3] Error performing checksum

From a CenOS 6 box I don't get this error.

After searching around a bit, I found this post: http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2009/11/26/dealing-with-yum-checksum-errors/

In nexus.log I found this:

Execute command : createrepo --update -o ......

How can I configure the plugin to execute 'createrepo -v -s sha1' instead.

Hi Clifford,

we had a similar problem with our RHEL 5 machines. At the moment it's not possible to change the createrepo command parameters. 

But we worked around this by installing python-hashlib during bootstrap like described here: http://blog.vertile.com/nathan/?tag=hashlib

You can download RPMs for python-hashlib here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/1/search/python-hashlib
