I am trying to create my own group. I am following instructions at
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumGroups
The environment is Centos7-armhfp (32 bit armv7). The goal is to make a
group for installing the Xfce desktop. The EPEL for C7-armv7 does not
have this group, nor the X11 group.
I took the group xmls from Centos 7 and EPEL7 and tried cutting them
down and that did not work. So I went back to
http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumGroups and tried something 'simple'.
Which did not work.
I installed yum-utils. I ran:
yum-groups-manager -n "xfce-desktop" --id=Xfce --save=Xfce.xml
--mandatory yum Thunar xfce-utils xfce4-panel xfce4-session
xfce4-settings xfconf xfdesktop xfwm4 gdm leafpad openssh-askpass orage
polkit-gnome thunar-archive-plugin thunar-volman tumbler xfce4-appfinder
xfce4-icon-theme xfce4-power-manager xfce4-session-engines
xfce4-terminal xfwm4-theme-nodoka xfwm4-themes pinentry
This created the file /root/Xfce.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I installed createrepo, created the directory /root/myrepo and ran
createrepo -g /root/Xfce.xml /root/myrepo

I made a myrepo.repo file:
cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepo.repo << EOF
[myrepo]
name=My repo for armhfp
baseurl=file:///root/myrepo/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF
then ran: yum group install Xfce
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Failed to add groups file for repository: myrepo - comps file is
empty/damaged
Warning: group Xfce does not exist.
Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum)
Error: No packages in any requested group available to install or update
What did I do wrong? I want to get this group to work before I go back
to the 'bigger' xml I made....
thank you
