CentOS - Feb 2020 - Problems with reposync and createrepo on CentOS 7 for RHEL8/CentOS8 repo?

Hi,

I'm trying to mirror the PostgreSQL12 RHEL8 repo:

https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/12/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64/


[root at cobbler yum.repos.d]# cat pgdg-12-centos8.repo

# PGDG Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS stable repositories:

[pgdg12-rhel8]
name=PostgreSQL 12 for RHEL/CentOS $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/12/redhat/rhel-8-x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG

# Source RPMs (SRPM), and their testing repositories:


Then I run:

reposync --repoid=pgdg12-rhel8 --download_path=/repo/8


createrepo /repo/8/pgdg12-rhel8


However, when I try to install it on the target-server, it just doesn't 
find the postgresql12 binaries.

[root at my-db11-test yum.repos.d]# dnf search postgresql12

Is there something obvious (or not so obvious) that I forgot?

Hi,
I tried to reproduce the issue but without success, everything seems
to be working fine (I've copied
repodata directory created by the reposync on Centos7 machine to RHEL8
server to /tmp/pg12repo directory):

RHEL8 # dnf search postgresql12 --repofrompath=a,/tmp/pg12repo --repoid=a

Are you sure that the packages from the 'reposync
--repoid=pgdg12-rhel8 --download_path=/repo/8'
were correctly downloaded? For deeper investigation the generated
repository metadata
(/repo/8/pgdg12-rhel8/repodata directory) would be needed.
As far as your question is concerned - no, I do not see anything you forgot.

Hi,

you are right.
I later realized that I forgot to add a step:

dnf -qy module disable postgresql


I'm sorry for the noise.

It would probably do well for me to read the documentation...

Even more so, as RedHat seems to be the only one in Linux-land that 
produces coherent and up-to-date documentation - and receives 
comparatively little praise for it.
