beaker-sync-tasks: Tool to sync local Beaker task RPMs from a remote Beaker installation¶

Synopsis¶

beaker-sync-tasks [options]

Description¶

beaker-sync-tasks is a script to sync local task RPMs from a remote Beaker installation.

Syncing protocol:

Task doesn’t exist in local: copy it.
Task exists in local: Overwrite it, if it is a different version on the remote
Tasks which exist on the local and not on the remote are left untouched

Options¶

-h, --help¶: Show this help message and exit

--remote <remote_server>¶: Remote Beaker Instance

--force¶: Do not ask before overwriting task RPMs

--debug¶: Display messages useful for debugging (verbose)

Exit status¶

Non-zero on error, otherwise zero.

Examples¶

Sync tasks from a remote Beaker server and display debug messages:

beaker-sync-tasks –remote=http://127.0.0.1/bkr –debug

Don’t prompt before beginning task upload:

beaker-sync-tasks –remote=http://127.0.0.1/bkr –force

More information¶

Querying the existing tasks: The script communicates with the remote Beaker server via XML-RPC calls and directly interacts with the local Beaker database.

Adding new tasks: The tasks to be added to the local Beaker database are first downloaded in the task directory (usually, /var/www/beaker/rpms). Each of these tasks are then added to the Beaker database and finally createrepo is run.
