#6386 EPEL5 comps missing or outdated
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by tibbs.

comps for EPEL5 was updated to include the epel-rpm-macros package some time ago, but when mock installs the buildsys-build group the package is not installed.

In addition, yum on an el5 machine with clean caches is unhappy with the comps file:

{{{

}}}

We talked about this on IRC a bit but I figured I'd go ahead and open a ticket.


I think this might be due to rhel5 not understanding bz2 repodata.

I am going to switch it to gz and see if that clears this up.

Indeed, switching to gz seems to have fixed it here at least.

I suspect this has been broken since we moved to bodhi2. ;(
