Guys,

The yum-createrepo package seems not to be the same as the createrepo package that you normally see. Specifically executing the yum-createrepo script with the help option discloses:

[13:35 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --help Usage: genpkgmetadata.py [options]

Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -q, --quiet output nothing except for serious errors -v, --verbose output more debugging info. <snip>

Huh?? Usage: genpkgmetadata.py [options]

genpkgmetadata.py is part of createrepo, but the expected output is:

13:38 nemesis:~> createrepo --help

createrepo [options] directory-of-packages

Options: -u, --baseurl <url> = optional base url location for all files -o, --outputdir <dir> = optional directory to output to -x, --exclude = files globs to exclude, can be specified multiple times -q, --quiet = run quietly

The AUR package doesn't seem to be looking for the correct input. You can't create or update a repository without specifying where the repository is?? However, the packages do share many of the same options "-p pretty, -d create sqlite dbs, etc..", but regardless, running the yum-createrepo from AUR fails:

Anybody have an idea what is going on? I think if the errors are corrected it will work, but I'm nut sure the PKGCONFIG is putting all the pieces together correctly. I guess I'll try just putting the package together from source and compare what is going on, but if anybody has any ideas, I would welcome the input and help.

Alright, The answer to the first question is AUR is pulling in the development version of 'yum-createrepo' which is much different from the stable release of createrepo. They are the same package, but miles apart. The stable release is: http://createrepo.baseurl.org/download/createrepo-0.4.11.tar.gz The development release used by AUR is: http://createrepo.baseurl.org/download/createrepo-0.9.8.tar.gz Using the stable release, installed from source works, but gives deprecation warnings. The following just calls "createrepo -d --update opensuse_11.0/" and then call gpg to sign the repo. The warnings from create repo are the first 3 below. Yes, I know libgladeui is a corrupt package. How do I work around the deprecations: [14:12 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # ./data/updt-sign-repo.sh sqlite metadata tables found --> updating /usr/share/createrepo/dumpMetadata.py:24: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead import md5 /usr/share/createrepo/dumpMetadata.py:25: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha /usr/share/createrepo/dumpMetadata.py:47: DeprecationWarning: use the name attribute fname = self.filename[:-3] 980/5301 * i586/libopencore-amrwb0-0.1.2-0.pm.1.1.i586.rpm mm Error opening package - i586/libgladeui-1-7-3.4.3-24.1.i586.rpm 5301/5301 * src/cairomm-1.4.8-16.1.src.rpm rpmpmmpm Saving Primary metadata Saving file lists metadata Saving other metadata Update of metadata (sqlite) --> OK Signing the repository after update... Other than the deprecation warnings, with the stable version of createrepo, repoview and gpg, I can completely manage the 3 rpm repositories I maintain on my Arch box -- that's cool... -- David C.
