I don't see the point of it with the cron job that is installed in /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron (or am I missing something?) > (question: AFAICT, a repository must have a top-level > headers/ directory, but the associated RPMs directory > need not be at the same level. what's the flexibility here?) Seems to be fairly flexible. The way I have it set up now, there is a repository root with a headers/ directory in it, and below the repository root there may be a number of nested subdirectories with packages. yum-arch will index the relative paths and also what architecture each package is built for so the client can choose the package that best fits.
