yes package was invalid. and createrepo created invalid xml. rpm doesn't 
restrict what is put to obsoletes line. and this single package in made whole 
repodata invalid. this shouldn't happen!

    Pass just dir. to getFileList(), makes -C work. Fixes bug#446040

trouble with 'createrepo'

Hi All,

I have 10 rpms with me which I want to distribute in a CD. They are dependent on each other. I dont want the user to list out all the rpms one by one and install or say 'rpm -i *'. When i give one rpm to install he will say that some thing else is not installed and exits. But yum looks at the dependencies and installs them at one go. So if i can do a localinstall on one rpm it will look up its dependencies (which is present n the same directory) and install all. For that i created repo data of the rpms using 'createrepo' program. but its not working. Yum with and without the repo data lists the dependencies and says Error:Missing Dependency and exits.

What am I missing ?

Thanks and regards

Re: trouble with 'createrepo'

Hi All,

Thanks and regards

Re: trouble with 'createrepo'

OK. I think i will answer my own question.

In order to localinstall a number of RPMs which are present inside a local directory do this :-

create a .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/

file format :-

[tag]
name=name
baseurl=path

Thanks and regards
