[opensuse-autoinstall] createrepo breaks installation server
Hello, I've got a sles 10 sp2 installation server accessed by clients via http which has been working fine. I recently used createrepo to build the repomd.xml and other files necessary to use this source as a repo for packages by zypper clients. This too seems to have worked for providing package dependencies for clients that were not originally installed on the host. My problem is that now, whenever I try to build a new host, I get a message similar to "cannot find pattern: base". The installation continues, but based on the package counts being installed, there are many missing packages. The system later fails while trying to install grub. Removing the repodata folder from the installation sources fixes this. How can I use the same repository to both offer installation sources and later be used as a zypper repo? Thanks, Justin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org

you want to install from a repository with repomd.xml? That does not work. That repository format does not support patterns AFAIK. Why don't you use "create_update_source.sh" from my homepage instead? That should work

create_update_source.sh should work -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
