repoview change for errata area's
Hello, We have updated the server that pushes out the security errata and builds the repoview area's. Along with the server update, we have updated createrepo and repoview. createrepo is now being run with the -d option which "generates sqlite databases for use with yum." I know that several people had asked for this. We have also updated repoview to version 0.6.4. This has a different template. It also puts the corresponding repoview web areas in a different place. Instead of putting the web pages in /repodata they are now in /repoview For instance http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5x/i386/updates/security/repoview/ http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/repoview/ http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/309/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/repoview/ I haven't remove the old repoview area's, that are in the repodata directory, but I plan on doing that in a couple weeks. Probably just replacing their main index.html web page with a redirecting web page. Thanks Troy Dawson -- __ Troy Dawson daw...@fnal.gov (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/LSCS/CSI/USS Group __

Should those of use building local repos be using it ? This has a different template. It also puts the corresponding repoview web areas in a different place.

Should those of use building local repos be using it ? I got it from the repoview site and built it myself. I had been having problems with 0.5.2 (I forget the error, I could dig it up if you want) and thought I would try the latest version. This got rid of the error, after I install python-hashlib. If people want to use it, I could put it up into contrib or testing. I like it. I've found I like the templates better than are in 0.5.2. This has a different template.

Hmmm ... that's strange. That was the first place I looked. And now that I look again, they have the new one. I must have looked in the wrong place or something. Yes, use the one from EPEL.
