I suspect you're right, though it seems the bug is in createrepo. I've
just upgraded to createrepo-0.9.8-5 (which meant rebuilding deltarpm for
the updated for rpm-4.6.0, and then rebuilding yum-3.2.23-10 for el5),
and the bug is gone, though now mergerepo ends with:
19133/16961 - junit-demo-3.8.2-6.4.fc12.x86_64
19134/16961 - rubygem-gettext_rails-doc-2.1.0-2.fc13.noarch
19135/16961 - perl-DateTime-Event-Recurrence-0.16-9.fc13.noarch
19136/16961 - bluez-compat-4.63-3.fc13.x86_64
19137/16961 - perl-XML-XPath-1.13-10.fc13.noarch
I guess it's the new way of doing math. :)
What version of createrepo and yum are on the builders?
Jonathan
yum-3.2.22-26.el5.noarch
python-createrepo-0.9.8-1.el5.noarch
createrepo-0.4.11-3.el5.noarch
the version of createrepo that ships in rhel. mergerepos imports createrepo
for that we use python-createrepo from epel. note in fedora's koji the only
thing we use external repos for is the rhel repos used to populate epel build
roots
