8.25. createrepo

Bug Fixes

BZ#877301

Previously, a time-stamp check did not pass if a file did not exist. As a consequence, an empty repository was incorrectly flagged as being up to date and the "createrepo --checkts" command performed no action on an empty repository. With this update, missing file is now considered as a failure, and not a pass. The "createrepo --checkts" command now properly creates a new repository when called on an empty repository.

BZ#892657

The --basedir, --retain-old-md, and --update-md-path options were reported only in the createrepo utility help message but not in the man page. This update amends the man page and the options are now properly documented in both the help message and the man page.
