Hi,

I have a few custom built RPMs that we would like to install on our SLES 11 and
opensuse 11.1 machines via autoyast. I looked around the autoyast website and
a few other lists and such and cant' quite get all the parts right to do this.
For now I am simply trying to create the update source then I go to a SLES 11
machine and try to add that as a "Software Repository" just to test if the
update source works. When I do this I get this error message:

"No repository index in content file"

Here are the steps I followed to create the update source:

create_update_source.sh dist/
mkdir -p dist/updates/suse/x86_64
cp *.rpm dist/updates/suse/x86_64/
cd dist/updates/suse/
create_package_descr -x setup/descr/EXTRA_PROV
cd setup/descr/
create_directory.yast .
create_md5sums .


last I edit the "dist/updates/content" file to look like this:

cat dist/updates/content
VENDOR SuSE Linux AG
CREATIONDATE 20090329125112
VERSION 1
LABEL My Software


Any ideas as to what I am missing in the creating of the update source that
might cause the "No repository index in content file" error message?

Thanks
Rene
