Summary

Fixes #1381

Test plan

  • Existing feed tests updated and passing
  • New functional test: build tag 1 -> GUID #builds=1; add tag 2 -> GUID #builds=1,2; add new arch for tag 2 -> GUID stable
  • Unit tests for _build_tag_fragment

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • RSS feed entry identifiers now remain stable when additional platform-specific wheels are published for an existing release.
    • Prevented duplicate feed entries for multi-architecture builds sharing the same build tag.
    • Feed identifiers now change only when a new PEP 427 build tag is introduced.
    • Feed publication dates continue to update when additional files are published without changing the build tag.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

RSS release queries now collect package filenames. Feed GUIDs use distinct PEP 427 wheel build tags instead of publication timestamps. Both feed renderers pass filenames to GUID generation, with unit and functional tests covering tagged, untagged, and multi-architecture inputs.

Changes

RSS GUID stability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release filename collection
pulp_python/app/pypi/feeds.py
Release queries aggregate distinct, sorted package filenames. A wheel filename regex captures PEP 427 build tags.
Build-tag GUID generation and validation
pulp_python/app/pypi/feeds.py, pulp_python/tests/unit/test_feeds.py, pulp_python/tests/functional/api/test_pypi_feeds.py, unittest_requirements.txt, CHANGES/1381.bugfix
_build_tag_fragment creates sorted build-tag fragments. _item_dict and both feed renderers use the fragments for unique identifiers. Tests verify stable GUIDs for additional platforms with the same build tag and changed GUIDs for new build tags. The bugfix note documents the behavior.

A narrow but reachable rebuild case can retain an existing RSS GUID and hide an update; this is suitable for bounded follow-up but should be fixed.

Base GUIDs on PEP 427 build tags instead of timestamps so that
additional platform wheels for the same build do not cause feed
readers to show duplicate entries.

I know this feature is one you requested, but I wonder if we are deviating from PyPI's behavior. Can you show me an example of a package on PyPI that updates their entries based on build-tags?

That's a pretty good point 🤔 - we may be coloring this RSS implementation with our desired behavior, and not with parity in terms of what PyPI actually does.

Yea, @mprpic, we may actually be at an impasse here. Looking at what PyPI actually exposes in its RSS feed, it doesn't provide a <guid> element, which means it just falls back to the <link>.

PyPI's link is https://pypi.org/project/{name}/{version}/ -- one entry per (name, version), no timestamp, no build tag.

So if we're modeling this after the way that PyPI behaves, the link is the GUID; adding more wheels to an existing release doesn't create a new RSS entry.

So even though the original limitation you discovered doesn't work the way we expected it to, it matches what PyPI does (and I understand why Pulp maintainers would want to mirror the PyPI implementation).

Looking at an example it seems that PyPI doesn't even use GUID: https://pypi.org/rss/project/tensorflow/releases.xml

On the other hand maybe this is a limitation of PyPI and their RSS feeds would be more useful with this.

Import _build_tag_fragment from feeds.py in unit tests instead of
duplicating the function. Add pytest-django to unittest_requirements.txt
to support the Django import. Use single backticks in the docstring.
