Debian group repository is not updated on Debian package upload

(This is a follow-up of #393306 (closed)).

Now that background job for Debian group repository has been fixed, there is still no repo update when a package is uploaded.

This is because both Packages::Debian::ProcessChangesService and Packages::Debian::ProcessPackageFileService only call ::Packages::Debian::GenerateDistributionWorker.perform_async(:project, package.debian_distribution.id).

As a workaround, it is possible to update all affected group distributions. For example with:

$ curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: ${PRIVATE_TOKEN}"\
    -d "codename=${CODENAME}" \
    "https://${SERVER}/api/v4/groups/${GROUP}/-/debian_distributions/${CODENAME}" \

One way to fix this would be to call ::Packages::Debian::GenerateDistributionWorker.perform_async(:group, group_distribution.id) for each parent distribution, either:

  • from Packages::Debian::GenerateDistributionWorker when container_type == :project, or
  • from Packages::Debian::ProcessChangesService and Packages::Debian::ProcessPackageFileService

In both case, create/update/delete endpoints for project distributions should also be handled.
