No.. it isn't there
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.
I recently installed SLES 10 on an x86 64bit blade server. I then installed vsftpd from the suse cds through network services; however after configuring the vsftpd.conf file, the server fails to start:

Dear All,
I have two intel xeon servers running with SLES 10 on a cluster environment (Veritas Cluster 4.1 - 2 Node Cluster - Active Passive). Both the systems are having hardware RAID 1 for OS disk. Both the systems are having DVD writer.
I would like to take the OS backup on DVD which can... (0 Replies)
Hi,
I would like to programmatically find if given OS is SLES 10 / RHEL 3/.RHEL 4/RHEL5 etc ..
For this do we have any library call/sys call? Or should we use any sys. structure which would give me detailed info. Share me if you have any pointers.
Thanks in advance

Hello all,
I'm stuck with a problem on REDHAT Enterprise (uname -r show: 2.4.21-57.ELsmp)
The only way to install package is using RPM, but since I'm a newbie I got a lot of dependencies warnings. I installed yum, but the problem now is that I'm not able to create a local repository to install... (6 Replies)
Can anyone give me a little clue on why the hard drive cache read timings on sles 9 is better then sles 11? The same hardware was used in both test. I even deleted the ata_generic module from initrd.
The speed difference is 10MB vs 5 MB
Thanks (1 Reply)

createrepo - Create repomd (xml-rpm-metadata) repository
SYNOPSIS
createrepo [options] <directory>
DESCRIPTION
createrepo is a program that creates a repomd (xml-based rpm metadata) repository from a set of rpms.
OPTIONS -u --baseurl <url>
Optional base URL location for all files.
-o --outputdir <url>
Optional output directory (useful for read only media).
-x --excludes <package>
File globs to exclude, can be specified multiple times.
-i --pkglist <filename>
specify a text file which contains the complete list of files to include in the repository from the set found in the directory. File
format is one package per line, no wildcards or globs.
-n --includepkg
specify pkgs to include on the command line. Takes urls as well as local paths.
-q --quiet
Run quietly.
-g --groupfile <groupfile>
A precreated xml filename to point to for group information.
See examples section below for further explanation.
-v --verbose
Run verbosely.
-c --cachedir <path>
Specify a directory to use as a cachedir. This allows createrepo to create a cache of checksums of packages in the repository. In
consecutive runs of createrepo over the same repository of files that do not have a complete change out of all packages this
decreases the processing time dramatically.
--update
If metadata already exists in the outputdir and an rpm is unchanged (based on file size and mtime) since the metadata was generated,
reuse the existing metadata rather than recalculating it. In the case of a large repository with only a few new or modified rpms
this can significantly reduce I/O and processing time.
--skip-stat
skip the stat() call on a --update, assumes if the filename is the same then the file is still the same (only use this if you're
fairly trusting or gullible).
-C --checkts
Don't generate repo metadata, if their timestamps are newer than its rpms. This option decreases the processing time drastically
again, if you happen to run it on an unmodified repo, but it is (currently) mutual exclusive with the --split option.
--split
Run in split media mode. Rather than pass a single directory, take a set of directories corresponding to different volumes in a
media set.
-p --pretty
Output xml files in pretty format.
-V --version
Output version.
-h --help
Show help menu.
-d --database
Generate sqlite databases for use with yum.
-S --skip-symlinks
Ignore symlinks of packages
-s --checksum
Choose the checksum type used in repomd.xml and for packages in the metadata. The default is now "sha256" (if python has hashlib).
The older default was "sha", which is actually "sha1", however explicitly using "sha1" doesn't work on older (3.0.x) versions of
yum, you need to specify "sha".
--profile
Output time based profiling information.
--changelog-limit CHANGELOG_LIMIT
Only import the last N changelog entries, from each rpm, into the metadata
--unique-md-filenames
Include the file's checksum in the metadata filename, helps HTTP caching (default)
--simple-md-filenames
Do not include the file's checksum in the metadata filename.
--distro
Specify distro tags. Can be specified more than once. Optional syntax specifying a cpeid(http://cpe.mitre.org/) --distro=cpeid,dis-
trotag
--content
Specify keyword/tags about the content of the repository. Can be specified more than once.
--repo Specify keyword/tags about the repository itself. Can be specified more than once.
--revision
Arbitrary string for a repository revision.
--deltas
Tells createrepo to generate deltarpms and the delta metadata
--oldpackagedirs PATH
paths to look for older pkgs to delta against. Can be specified multiple times
--num-deltas int
the number of older versions to make deltas against. Defaults to 1
EXAMPLES
Here is an example of a repository with a groups file. Note that the groups file should be in the same directory as the rpm packages (i.e.
/path/to/rpms/comps.xml).
createrepo -g comps.xml /path/to/rpms
FILES
repodata/filelists.xml.gz
