Dell Linux community repository beta - software repository update

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

Took me long enough to respond to the last email that I didnt see this one. :)

Yes, I already run yum-arch, it appears that yum-arch doesnt like the RPMs built by the opensuse build service and completely barfs, producing zero-length header.info files. :(

Heh.  It helps to be properly caffeinated before sending email :)

Source system is RHEL4, and looking at the community repo for el-4 it
looks like yum-arch isn't able to successfully run, as headers.info is
a zero-length file; no metadata ergo, no packages.

Anyone around at Dell on a Friday to run yum-arch for a poor hapless
and under caffeinated sysadmin?

Thanks,
