It's just a matter of calling "createrepo /dir/to/rpms/" to turn them into YUM repos. For 10.0 those would work out of the box with YaST or yum.
That'd be one for Eberhard I would think, it is his server after all ;)
ISTR this was trialed at one point[1]
first aspect: the yum support within apt4rpm/aptate is discarded currently (needs investigation, current results are not sufficient). To make it fully clear: "APT can generate YUM repositories quite easily" was a hope only, in fact it is wrong, false, no, not yet, what ever you need to understand "nope".
apt4rpm just calls createrepo. I wonder what's going wrong there... can you elaborate on that?
second aspect: all my "suser-people" should try to do as much as possible of the "repository generating" steps at home in order to assure a just-in-time repository appearence as much as possible.
Agreed. Regards Christoph
