Hi,

I have server (Centos5) working as a mirror repository runinng mrepo and repodata meta files.  How can I also generate headers.info file?

I know that createrepo creates repodata meta files in xml format (which I have configured already) and yum-arch creates headers.info, I get the following errors when I run yum-arch.


THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED!
You should be generating xml metadata instead.
Please see http://linux.duke.edu/metadata

Digesting rpm - tetex-doc-1.0.7-67.10.i386.rpm - 1/112

. <and so forth>

Why do I need to do this?  Because the problem is that my RHEL3 machines are looking for the headers.info file instead (running yum 2.0.x).  

Why don't I just upgrade yum version to 2.4.x on my RHEL3 machines?  Because upgrade but that also gets hairy as it has crazy dependency issues (db4, libstdc++, etc).

Thank you.
