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 :confused:

NAME
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.
--basedir
Basedir for path to directories in the repodata, default is the current working directory.
--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).
--update-md-path
Use the existing repodata for --update, from this path.
-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. NOTE: This
command will not notice when packages have been removed from repo. Use --update to handle that.
--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.
--version
Output version.
-h --help
Show help menu.
-d --database
Generate sqlite databases for use with yum. This is now the default.
--no-database
Do not generate sqlite databases in the repository.
-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.
--retain-old-md
Keep around the latest (by timestamp) N copies of the old repodata (so clients with older repomd.xml files can still access it).
Default is 0.
--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
--read-pkgs-list READ_PKGS_LIST
output the paths to the pkgs actually read useful with --update
--max-delta-rpm-size MAX_DELTA_RPM_SIZE
max size of an rpm that to run deltarpm against (in bytes)
--workers WORKERS
number of workers to spawn to read rpms
--compress-type
specify which compression method to use: compat (default), xz (may not be available), gz, bz2.
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
