Hi List,
I have been searching for the correct createrepo command to make a 6.4 respin.
We have been doing this with previous versions using
createrepo -u "media://$discinfo" -g
${DIR}/my_kickstart${VER}/comps.xml .
Which had worked fine until now.
Thanks,

The above command works fine but when I try to actually use my new iso image - all goes well up to the point where the repo is needed and I get an error message from anaconda saying it can find the repo. I did get it to work by going back and doing the build of the 6.x iso under CentOS 5.x and all worked. One thing I noticed is the output of the createrepo command under 6.4 had md5 filenames like repodata/e7264c5a718d3d8b6fd4bb966ee52c81374e5f16d3882cec5cef1a145fb3a158-filelists.xml.gz but when I build under 5.x all I see is repodata/filelists.xml.gz -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves* Director of Technology Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark-HKs6b5iW9l2akBO8gow8eQ@public.gmane.org http://www.netwolves.com

I got my respin build to work by installing the createrepo 0.4.11 from centos 5.x I even tried the step by step instructions I found at https://wikis.uit.tufts.edu/confluence/display/TUSKpub/Build+Custom+RHEL+or+CentOS+Respin+DVD and got the same error message - something to the effect it can't find the repo. -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves* Director of Technology Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark at netwolves.com http://www.netwolves.com
