Start with: http://linux.duke.edu/projects/metadata/ Get the latest createrepo: http://linux.duke.edu/projects/metadata/generate/createrepo-0.4.2.tar.gz You may run genpkgmetadata.py manually, but you need to fulfill the dependencies somehow, namely python rpm and libxml2 packages.. Then it boils down to pathto/genpkgmetadata.py -v repodir/ I haven't tested this, since I know the root passwd of all machines, I really care ;-) In case of problems, just call back with the backtrace then..
