I think the only suggestion that came up before was, "mirror from someplace that has already run yum-arch". Of course, this doesn't let you add in your own packages. Would it be an option for you to mount the repository via nfs on a RH box and run yum-arch from there? I haven't seen anyone successfully running yum-arch on debian (but they may be out there somewhere!). -Jeff On Tue, 2004-01-06 at 12:32, Brian Hatch wrote: > I know it's been brought up before on the archives, > but I never saw any solution. > > I'd like to create a yum repository and host it on > a Debian (stable) machine.
