Closed vtolstov closed 7 years ago

vtolstov commented 7 years ago

I need something special: i have ci system that exports builded rpm to external amazon s3 like host in dirs like /pkg-one /pkg-two ... i need to generate metadata for using with yum/dnf tool in pkg-one pkg-two ... i need to generate metadata in /release/ combined with pkg-one pkg-two...

something like mergerepo_c or updaterepo_c ...

how can i do this using this package?

This package does not currently support package repositories - only the RPM file format itself. I have started work trying to implement createrepo in another project. See https://github.com/cavaliercoder/y10k/tree/native_rpm/yum

This implementation has a few issues. Implementing a yum repo requires creating XML documents, SQLite databases, XZ archives, etc., etc.. It might not really be feasible.

I would recommend just using createrepo instead.
