If mrepo is used, there is an option to merge one or more repositories
in one big repository.

Hello,
Ok, I see. But then, how should the repo file look like if you create a repo like this?
createrepo --split -o dir1 dir2
As the documentation for --split says, it is used for "split
media". Ie. where you have more data than will fit on a single CD/DVD,
at which point anaconda has some magic which makes this work.
If you are just accessing this from the network you'll want to create
a single repo. ... if you are doing both, I think you want to run it
twice (probably via. some other tool for the media creation bit --
maybe someone who does CD install disks can answer?)
Thanks for your answer, James. I understand now. But then, what would be the repo file I should use if I create a repository in this way?
createrepo -i list1 -o dir1 main_dir
createrepo -i list2 -o dir2 main_dir
The thing is that I'm wondering whether it makes sense to do this in yum so that main_dir contains all the packages of my release but in dir1 and dir2 I have different views of the repository which actually contain some of the packages of main_dir (as specified in list1 and list2). Does this make sense? How should I define my repo file? If I do this:
I think you'd need to have two repos, like:
[repo1]
name=my repo list1
baseurl=http://whatever/dir1
[repo2]
name=my repo list2
baseurl=http://whatever/dir2
...and if you need to have it on the FS in that way I think you need
to use: --baseurl http://whatever/main_dir
