Description Pascal Terjan 2011-03-11 11:50:00 CET

When all subpackages of a src.rpm are removed, the src.rpm should too.

This is easy to detect (nothing remaining in repository built from that src.rpm)

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 3 Nicolas Vigier 2011-10-14 14:52:11 CEST

I think this can be done using a script in cron removing all source packages with no corresponding binary packages.

Comment 4 Pascal Terjan 2011-10-14 15:03:20 CEST

I had such scripts in my home on n4 which got wiped out.
There is also some code in youri-check for that.
The Missing check lists the ones where there are binary packages from newer version, I don't remember why it does not list the ones without binary packages but this should be trivial to add.

I had http://svn.mandriva.com/viewvc/soft/build_system/distrib/cleaning/debugorphan?revision=269234&view=markup for removing / moving debug packages, this one can be simplified to only do the removing and be run in cron.

Log of the script on cauldron in 3 use cases

This script can list:
- binaries in a media without src.rpm (old binaries), it can be run on debug media too
- src.rpm in a media with no associated binary rpm

Comment 7 Pascal Terjan 2012-02-18 18:02:42 CET

This script has a problem, it only checks one arch so it will report a src.rpm as not having binaries if it is not built for that arch
