Hi, - the download page links to /RPM/rhel/ instead of /RPM/rhel4/ - the location of repos.d in DAG's yum (I guess where most people would get yum for RHEL) is /etc/yum.repos.d/ rhel4 works with yum but ... could you sign the packages - it's risky to use an unsigned repository (only have to compromise the web server to own any system updating from it)? up2date requires a 'headers' directory as built by yum-arch, which is available from fedora extras, exactly the same usage as createrepo. Should be easy to build perl-Search-Xapian for fc6 too. All the best, Tim.

Let me know if this works. I'll build perl-Search-Xapian in the next couple of days. Fabrice
