Package Blocklist

A repository can have a blocklist that prevents specific packages from being added. Blocklist entries can match by package name (all versions), package name with an exact version, or exact filename. Exactly one of name or filename must be provided.

Each entry records the PRN of the user who created it in the added_by field.

Setup

If you do not already have a repository, create one:

pulp python repository create --name foo

Set the API base URL and repository HREF for use in the subsequent commands:

PULP_API="http://localhost:5001"
REPO_HREF=$(pulp python repository show --name foo | jq -r ".pulp_href")

Add a blocklist entry

By name (all versions)By name and versionBy filename

# Block all versions of shelf-reader
http POST "${PULP_API}${REPO_HREF}blocklist_entries/" name="shelf-reader"

# Block only shelf-reader 0.1
http POST "${PULP_API}${REPO_HREF}blocklist_entries/" name="shelf-reader" version="0.1"

# Block only shelf-reader-0.1.tar.gz
http POST "${PULP_API}${REPO_HREF}blocklist_entries/" filename="shelf-reader-0.1.tar.gz"

Set the UUID of a created entry for use in the subsequent commands:

ENTRY_UUID=$(http GET "${PULP_API}${REPO_HREF}blocklist_entries/" | jq -r '.results[0].prn | split(":") | .[-1]')

List blocklist entries

List all entries for a repository:

http GET "${PULP_API}${REPO_HREF}blocklist_entries/"

Show a single entry:

http GET "${PULP_API}${REPO_HREF}blocklist_entries/${ENTRY_UUID}/"

Remove a blocklist entry

http DELETE "${PULP_API}${REPO_HREF}blocklist_entries/${ENTRY_UUID}/"

Once an entry is removed, packages matching it can be added to the repository again.
