Sometimes the changelog entries contain "<" and/or ">" symbols. For
example, a fragment of the changelog of "k3b" package:
* Wed Oct 6 02:00:00 2004 Harald Hoyer <harald@xxxxxxxxxx> 0:0.11.17-1
- version 0.11.17
- revert the dao -> tao change
- add the suid feature to every app automatically
note the "->" in the line:
- revert the dao -> tao change
When I create my local repodata ("cd somewhere; createrepo ."), the
correspond fragment appears in the "repodata/other.xml.gz" file, in the
form of:
- revert the dao -> tao change
Then, when I update my repodata by "createrepo --update .", I receive an
error:
Scanning old repo data

Indexed 3001 filelist nodes
/var/ftp/.4/fedora-8/fedora/i386/./repodata/other.xml.gz:118813:
parser error : Detected an entity reference loop

Traceback (most recent call last):

parseFile
if ret is None:raise parserError('xmlParseFile() failed')
libxml2.parserError: xmlParseFile() failed
IOW, the initial "full" createrepo run seems OK, the subsequent run with
"--update" is failed.
Any comments? Whether it is some bug in createrepo, or in some yum
components?
