sark/createrepo repository overview

⁠Createrepo

Sometimes you'll find you need to be able to collect a bunch of rpm packages you have together in one place and you want to make them available to your systems running yum. It is pretty easy to do.

This project defines the rpm-metadata (repodata) format and maintains one of the programs (createrepo) which create this format from existing rpms and other sources.
