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.
B/c that's how you can detect a sourcerpm.
How is the pkg being made such that it does not have sourcerpm tag?
Can you provide a link to this pkg?
