'createrepo' not found on SLES 10.3

Hello All,

I'm trying to configure a SLES 10.3 machine as our Zypper server. I created the zypper directories with all the RPMs, made the directory structure accessible over HTTP but I'm stuck at the final stage: createrepo.

Looks like 'createrepo' is not present on this version Smilie

Could someone please throw some light here? Double-TABing show below commands/executables are present but I don't think any of them are of use to me Smilie

Code:
itc-zypper:~ # create
create-branching-keyboard  create_directory.yast      create_package_descr       create_sha1sum             create_update_source.sh
create-cracklib-dict       create_md5sums             create_repo_for_patch.sh   create_sha1sums            createpatch

zypper install createrepo

Did you try that? It's supposed to be there for 10 SP3

No.. it isn't there Smilie
Also, the machine is SLES 11.3 (not 10.3 as wrongly mentioned by me). This is the last
step and I'm blocked here. I had configured this machine's HTTP so that I can use this as a Repo server for other SLES clients.

Code:
itc-zypper:~ # zypper addrepo /media/SLES-11-SP3-DVD-i58607031/suse/i586/ local1
