Guys,
How do I fix the yum-createrepo PKGBUILD so that yum-createrepo looks for
the module 'rpm-org' instead of looking for the outdated 'rpm' module? In the
PKGBUILD, the depends currently is:
depends=('python' 'python-lxml' 'rpm' 'yum')
However, 'rpm-org' now provides 'rpm' so the depends line needs to be:
depends=('python' 'python-lxml' 'rpm-org' 'yum')
The problem is that when you build yum-createrepo with 'rpm-org' it fails
with the following error:
[12:19 archangel:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --update -d openSUSE_11.3/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 28, in <module>
import createrepo
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 22, in
<module>
import yumbased
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/createrepo/yumbased.py", line 19, in
<module>
import rpm
ImportError: No module named rpm
So it looks to me like it tries to 'import rpm' and fails because 'package
rpm' isn't installed, instead the new package 'rpm-org' is installed and
provides rpm:
12:28 archangel:~/arch/pkg/bld/yum-createrepo> rpm --version
RPM version 4.8.0
So what do I need to fix (by patch, symlink somewhere in python, or
otherwise) to cure this problem?
Currently I'm making an outline for what it takes to install createrepo and
repoview on Arch for managing rpm repositories. There are quite a number of
steps required to do this. For those interested, here is the sequence so far:
Install beecrypt
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16387
(download tarball, untar/ungzip, cd into directory)
makepkg -s
sudo pacman -U beecrypt-4.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Installl rpm-org
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30317
(download tarball, untar/ungzip, cd into directory)
makepkg -s
sudo pacman -U rpm-org-4.8.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Install yum-metadata-parser
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=22978
(OUT OF DATE -- here is the updated PKGBUILD)
(download tarball, untar/ungzip, cd into directory)
