Synopsis
createrepo bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated createrepo packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The createrepo packages contain the utility that generates a common metadata
repository from a directory of RPM packages.
The createrepo packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.9.9, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version,
including support for multitasking in the createrepo utility. This update also
modifies the "--update" option to use the SQLite database instead of the XML
files in order to reduce memory usage. (BZ#631989, BZ#716235)
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the createrepo utility ignored the "umask" command for files
created in the createrepo cache directory. This behavior caused problems when
more than one user was updating repositories. The bug has been fixed, and
multiple users can now update repositories without complications. (BZ#833350)
This update also adds the following enhancements:
- It is now possible to use the "createrepo" command with both the "--split" and
the "--pkglist" options simultaneously. (BZ#646644)
- It is now possible to remove metadata from the repodata directory using the
modifyrepo program. This update also enhances updating of the existing metadata.
(BZ#714094)
All users of createrepo are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
