[Pulp-list] quick functionality question about repo metadata

[Barnaby Court]

Jon, you are not the only person that has been seeing this behavior.  I have not been able to duplicate locally so far but am continuing to investigate.  If you track down the exact nature of the issue by all means please let me know and I'll get a fix in ASAP.  If you clean out the previously published files, does yum work properly in that case?  They should be ignored since they are not referenced in the repomd.xml but I'm wondering if yum is doing something strange.

Yeh we are having problems where new RPM's are not always showing and it
isn't to do with the meta cache local on the box as we do a yum clean all
each time, sometimes they show and sometimes it's still showing only the
old version when we push a new file up and publish. It seems intermittent
and has only started happening since we upgraded 2.5 it has been fine for
months on 2.4 and i noticed that this looks like a new feature
implementation.

i can investigate further and raise a bug.
