Recently I started playing around with Koji for package building.
Everything was set-up pretty fast... but the first attempts to build a build-root failed...
After some troubleshooting I found the cause...
If you use the repo-data as available on an installation ISO (served via a webserver) and use mergerepos the location of an RPM will look like:
<location xml:base="CentOS" href="pam-0.99.6.2-6.el5_5.2.x86_64.rpm"/>
The entry as available on the ISO is:
<location xml:base="media://1330913492.861127#1" href="CentOS/pam-0.99.6.2-6.el5_5.2.x86_64.rpm"/>
The way to workaround this issue, is be recreated the repodata using createrepo:
# createrepo -u http://172.16.3.240/repo/centos/5.8/base/x86_64/-o ${WEBSERVERPATH}/new-repo/ /media/cd/ And then the entry will look like:
<location xml:base="http://172.16.3.240/repo/centos/5.8/base/x86_64/CentOS" href="pam-0.99.6.2-6.el5_5.2.x86_64.rpm"/>
The bug can be found in bugzilla.
