Hello, - I saw in many places that createrepo is better than yum-arch (in some places, it says that yum-arch is deprecated). - I had created successfully a Yum server on my local LAN on FC7. I had created this Yum serve using "yum-arch". While running "yum-arch" I got: THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED! You should be generating xml metadata instead. Please see http://linux.duke.edu/metadata I googled a bit and I am bewildered : on FC7, there is an rpm for ""yum-arch". ( yum-arch-2.2.2-2.fc7.noarch.rpm) However, when looking for "createrepo" with rpmfind.net, I see that there is a version for feodra core 5 (but not 6 or 7). So - what is behind this ? which is better to use? I must add that "yum-arch" worked for me and the yum-server works OK Regards, Ian _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
