In trying to upgrade 9.1 to Cooker from a local file mirror, I was running gendistrib and getting the message "unable to find a valid root directory which contains SRPMS". I didn't realize that this was actually causing gendistrib to abort before updating the lists.

My local cooker mirror only contains the i586 directory, since I didn't think I needed source RPMs for anything.

Is there a way to run gendistrib without SRPMS ? Is it correct that gendistrib run against --distrib /xxx/cooker/i586 should be requiring SRPMS ?
