createrep question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

 

After several googles, I turn to you. Forgive my poor google skills if this is a FAQ.

 

I have a COTS RPM that is invisible to yum, and I think the cause is the arch property. While the arch tag is properly set in the COTS RPM, createrepo always chooses “src”, ignoring the vendor’s arch tag.

 

Looking in createrepo/ dumpMetadata.py I see this:

 

 

    def arch(self):

        if self.tagByName('sourcepackage') == 1 or not self.tagByName('sourcerpm'):

            return 'src'

        else:

            return self.tagByName('arch')

 

 

The COTS RPM does not set tag SOURCERPM, so createrepo returns ‘src’.

 

What’s the rationalization for this rule? I need to make a case with the vendor.

 

Thanks!

 

Jack Kidwell
