Here is a quick synopsis of what is required to install createrepo on Arch in
case you need to provide an rpm repository for rpm based distros hosted on your
Arch server:
AUR Package Summary (in order to build/install):
beecrypt
rpm (THIS PKG IS ORPHANED, BUT STILL CURRENT FOR rpm-5.1.9)
yum-metadata-parser (OUT OF DATE -- updated PKGBUILD below)
python-iniparse
yum (the 'depends' line in the PKGBUILD must be fixed - see below)
yum-createrepo (OUT OF DATE -- updated PKGBUILD below)
kid
repoview
Couple of questions:
(1) Should we do a wiki page on this?
(2) What do we do about the "orphaned" rpm package in AUR? Shouldn't that
package have a maintainer? I'm not that skilled in packaging/patching or
Makefiles so I wouldn't exactly feel comfortable taking it on, but with
something as needed as rpm for handling repos that will be stored on Arch
servers, this should definitely have somebody looking after it. What is the
process for getting a new maintainer for it?
