:thumbsdown: there is no point in doing this since it won't work... it depends on yum and it is py2-only.

:thumbsdown:

We should delete this code and just hard-depend on mergerepo_c.

Oh, apologize for that I didn't check the python3 compatibility of this script

The simple merge mode is not supported by mergerepo_c I think.

So do we really want to remove this functionality?

Is it worthy to change this script with the replacement from yum, rpmUtil to dnf, libdnf, hawkey, etc ?

All merge modes are supported by mergerepo_c. The Koji "simple" merge mode is activated via the --koji switch.

PR #2185 to delete mergerepos

No, it is not the same AFAIK
simple: mergererepos --simple - we can't do that with mergerepos_c yet.
koji: mergerepos_c --koji
bare: mergerepos_c --pkgorigins --all (or mergerepos --koji)

The question is, if bare mode is not usable in place of simple. The difference is that bare ignores blocklist. @mikem is there any other significant difference now?

there's mergerepo_c --koji --simple since createrepo_c-0.15.1

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/blob/master/doc/mergerepo_c.8#L113

Not quite sure if it is usable right now

It could be, we need to check version of mergerepos_c if it contains support for that.

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/issues/213 was merged so we can continue with this one.

replaced with #2343
