createrepo fails with file name too long

Issue

• When I run createrepo –g *comps*xml/opt/linux/rhel/rh6.5_x86_64_2.3/LoadBalancer, I’m getting this error:

  File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 291, in <module>
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 269, in main
    mdgen.doRepoMetadata()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 1073, in doRepoMetadata
    mdcontent = self._createRepoDataObject(self.conf.groupfile, 'group_gz')
