Error: Only one directory allowed per run. createrepo [options] directory-of-packages Options: -u, --baseurl = optional base url location for all files -x, --exclude = files globs to exclude, can be specified multiple times -q, --quiet = run quietly -g, --groupfile <filename> to point to for group information (precreated) -v, --verbose = run verbosely -s, --checksum = md5 or sha - select type of checksum to use (default: md5) -h, --help = show this help -V, --version = output version -p, --pretty = output xml files in pretty format. But when I tried again with a different syntax (createrepo -x '00_LOGS/*' /caos/repo/ext/autobuilder/i386), it worked. Sorry to bother you. :) Michael -- Michael Jennings (a.k.a.
