Hi Elliot,
Is the SRPMS directory the only one that is having a problem? We
currently don't do a createrepo on those, mainly because yum didn't use
it correctly, so we didn't do it. But we can easily put it into our
script so that it does a createrepo in the SRPM directories.
About missing src rpm's. Can you get me a list of what is missing. It
is often that our handmade rpm's get missed, because they don't go
through the usual channels. I'm certain I could quickly make a list,
but right at the moment I am swamped, and it looks like you already have
a list.
