For my RHEL/CentOS 6-only repos, I use "-c cache --update -C" for createrepo flags. For 5-only and 5/6, I use "-c cache -s sha"

I am having an issue with the repositories for 6.2 on a CentOS 5.7 Cobbler server. It tells me "unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree." However, the repositories work just fine if I point an existing centos 6 server to them and try to install anything from them. Its only when I am kickstarting and trying to install over HTTP that this fails. To get this to work, I had to remove the repmod.xml and redownload it from my internet source. Are the createrepo flags needing to be changed a bit to support both operating systems? From: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sec-Creating_a_Yum_Repository.html Because RPM packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 are compressed using the XZ lossless data compression format, and may also be signed using alternative (and stronger) hash algorithms such as SHA-256, it is not possible to run createrepo on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to create the package metadata for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 packages. The createrepo command relies on rpm to open and inspect the packages, and rpm on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is not able to open the improved Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 RPM package format.
