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.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
