one last question for the day. i was experimenting with creating a local yum repository on fedora 19 following along here: http://www.unixmen.com/setup-local-yum-repository-in-fedora-19/ and it seemed to work fine, but the resulting structure was simpler than i was used to -- the end result was (in my case) a new repository under /usr/local/repo in which the rpm files were right at the top level, along with the repodata/ directory. from my previous usage of fedora repos, i'm used to having a top-level repodata/ directory, along with a Packages/ directory, which is further broken down based on the first letter of the package name. so what are the valid variations that will be (automatically?) recognized by yum? i'm guessing the top-level repodata/ directory is mandatory but, beyond that, what kind of variations can be used to store the rpm files? thanks. rday _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
