[tools] Re: mrepo not creating metadata for old yum

[Campbell, Todd]

I may be a little behind on this since I read in digest, but in order to
have mrepo generate the old yum style metadata, you need to specify it
for that distribution in your mrepo.conf (i.e.):

[4AS]
name = blah
release = 4
arch = blah
iso = /blah/blah
metadata = yum repomd

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately my mrepo already has the -l. I'm using
the latest svn version and it has that fixed apparently.
