Guys,
The yum-createrepo package seems not to be the same as the createrepo
package
that you normally see. Specifically executing the yum-createrepo script with
the
help option discloses:
[13:35 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --help
Usage: genpkgmetadata.py [options]
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --helpshow this help message and exit
-q, --quiet output nothing except for serious errors
-v, --verbose output more debugging info.

Huh?? Usage: genpkgmetadata.py [options]
genpkgmetadata.py is part of createrepo, but the expected output is:
13:38 nemesis:~ createrepo --help
createrepo [options] directory-of-packages
Options:
-u, --baseurl url = optional base url location for all files
-o, --outputdir dir = optional directory to output to
-x, --exclude = files globs to exclude, can be specified multiple times
-q, --quiet = run quietly
The AUR package doesn't seem to be looking for the correct input. You
can't
create or update a repository without specifying where the repository is??
However, the packages do share many of the same options -p pretty, -d create
sqlite dbs, etc.., but regardless, running the yum-createrepo from AUR fails:
[13:41 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --update -d factory_11.0/

Anybody have an idea what is going on? I think if the errors are corrected it
will work, but I'm nut sure the PKGCONFIG is putting all the pieces together
correctly. I guess I'll try just putting the package together from source and
compare what is going on, but if anybody has any ideas, I would welcome the
input and help.
Alright,
The answer to the first question is AUR is pulling in the development
version
of 'yum-createrepo' which is much different from the stable release of
createrepo. They are the same package, but miles apart.
The stable release is:
http://createrepo.baseurl.org/download/createrepo-0.4.11.tar.gz
The development release used by AUR is:
http://createrepo.baseurl.org/download/createrepo-0.9.8.tar.gz
Using the stable release, installed from source works, but gives deprecation
warnings. The following just calls createrepo -d --update opensuse_11.0/ and
then call gpg to sign the repo. The warnings from create repo are the first 3
below. Yes, I know libgladeui is a corrupt package. How do I work around the
deprecations:
[14:12 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # ./data/updt-sign-repo.sh

Signing the repository after update...
Other than the deprecation warnings, with the stable version of createrepo,
repoview and gpg, I can completely manage the 3 rpm repositories I maintain on
my Arch box -- that's cool...
