This is from the README in the drakx cvs:
------------------------------- snip --------------------------
If you have your own rpms you want to add, or make your own updated cdrom,
you
just have to issue:
% gendistrib --noclean --distrib <DIRS>
Where <DIRS> is the root of all the media that the install will see, this
first
one is the main one :
(1) network or 1-cdrom installs
DIRS == the root directory of the Distribution
(2) multi-cdrom install
DIRS == the root directories of all the media that the install
will see
``gendistrib'' will scan the file Mandrake/base/hdlists in the main root
directory (the first one in DIRS) to search for all media used. Typically
you
use Mandrake/RPMS* for RPM packages repository.
For multi-cd, please use Mandrake/RPMS or Mandrake/RPMS1, Mandrake/RPMS2,
etc.
For one CD or a network/hd volume, please use Mandrake/RPMS.
Optionally, you can modify ``Mandrake/base/rpmsrate''; this file manages
the relative importance of the files, and thus their installation or not.
--------------------- snip ----------------------
So in my case the stuff is in /export, so I do:
gendistrib --noclean --distrib /export
Someone (probably David or a cron job) is updating the hdlist, etc. on the
mirror source, but it's not me, and I wouldn't rely on it being
up-to-date.
Hope this helps,
Stew Benedict
