Hello
I've build a new yum rpm for centos4 incorporating the patch for chroot.
(I used www.jpackage.org to help with the rpm building and
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-rpm2/ to understand the
patching process)
It basically works a lot better now.
However I think there are still 2 problems.
1/ It seems to be very fragile when finding files in a repository. Often yum
will say it cannot find the file.
When yum gets run again, it seems to find the file and then falls over again
somewhere later with the same error,
but with a different file.
2/There are many packages where yum says
eg
No Match for argument: indexhtml-4-1.centos4
No Match for argument: redhat-logos-1.1.25-1.centos4.3
No Match for argument: setup-2.5.37-1.1
No Match for argument: tzdata-2004e-2
No Match for argument: glibc-2.3.4-2
Yum can find some files, but not all of them. The corresponding list of files
in my 01 file
(copied from the centos list on the vserver site) is
indexhtml-4-1.centos4
redhat-logos-1.1.25-1.centos4.3
setup-2.5.37-1.1
basesystem-8.0-4
tzdata-2004e-2
glibc-2.3.4-2
So it seems to have found basesystem-8.0-4 ok.
