pulp_win

Pulp plugin to handle Windows MSI packages

The plugin supports the following unit types:

• msi
• msm

Packages are being published in a repomd format (specific to yum repositories, but extendable).

Requirements

Admin extensions do not need additional tools.

Server extensions need msitools, which is available in Fedora. The Fedora 23 package has been confirmed to work on CentOS 7.

Installation

Build the RPMs from spec file.

To enable the plugin, you will need to stop pulp services and migrate the database, and then restart the services.

Example Usage:

    ~ $  pulp-admin win repo create --serve-http=true  --repo-id win-test-repo
    Successfully created repository [win-test-repo]
    
    ~ $  pulp-admin win repo uploads msi -f nxlog-ce-2.5.1089.msi --repo-id win-test-repo
