Greetings, We set up a yum-server for educational purpose. In the RPMS directory on the yum-server, there are two packages: test-versioned-app-1.0-0.noarch.rpm test-simple-app-1.0-0.noarch.rpm In the updates directory on the yum-server, there are two updates: test-versioned-app-1.0-1.noarch.rpm test-simple-app-1.0-1.noarch.rpm We created the repository using the createrepo command. The repodata directories and xml files were generated under RPMS and updates. The problem is that when we ran "yum list" on the client machine, only the packages in the [updates] group were listed. The packages in the [base] group would not appear unless the [updates] stanza is disabled. We also tried using two repo files, still the packages in the [base] group would not be listed as "Available Packages" unless the repo file for [updates] is disabled. How does yum distinguish update packages from base packages? Version numbers? Timestamps? When "yum list" is executed on a normal Fedora or CentOS box, both base packages and update packages are listed. What may cause the problem mentioned above? I would appreciate any hints. Our test.repo file is attached. Thanks very much!
