Hi:

I'm facing a problem with the smart package manager downloading the
createrepo based metadata, but not showing me any packages.

Anders F Bjorklund on the smart package manager mailing list gave a
few pointers, most of which I'd already applied.

He also pointed out to me that I should have /etc/rpm/platform

I don't have this with the make install that I carried out. What
should the contents of this file be ?

Here are various inputs from my side (sorry, it's a bit late for me
and in my sleep I'm not able to think of anything much).

sriram@ram-oi:/usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i86pc$ uname -a
SunOS ram-oi 5.11 oi_147 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

sriram@ram-oi:/usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i86pc$ ls /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i86pc/
autoconf-2.68-1.i86pc.rpm  cmake-2.8.5-1.i86pc.rpm  nginx-1.0.4-1.i86pc.rpm
axel-2.4-1.i86pc.rpm       git-1.7.6-1.i86pc.rpm    repodata

I build some packages already. (I now install from rpm packages only).

rpm --eval "%{_arch}-%{_vendor}-%{_os}%{?_gnu}"
i386-pc-solaris

$ python
>>> import rpm
>>> rpm.archscore("i86pc")
0

I placed "i386-pc-solaris" in /etc/rpm/platform, but that did not help.

Sriram
