I was planning to migrate our internal yum repository to to a server running RHEL6 when I noticed something's not working. Repositories created using RHEL6's createrepo-0.9.8-4.el6 is not usable in RHEL5 + yum 3.2.27 (tested using both self-compiled and RPM from http://people.redhat.com/jantill/yum/5-from-6) ###################################################################################### # yum -d 9 --noplugins --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo=test list available Config time: 0.039 repo time: 0.000 Yum Version: 3.2.27 COMMAND: yum -d 9 --noplugins --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=test list available Installroot: / Ext Commands: available Setting up Package Sacks test | 1.3 kB 00:00 test/primary | 1.3 kB 00:00 http://yum.telkom.net.id/test/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno -3] Error performing checksum Trying other mirror. http://yum.telkom.net.id/test/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno 9] Requested Range Not Satisfiable Trying other mirror.

Is this a known issue? -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
