Description Sandro Mathys 2009-08-10 13:58:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
For the yum repo association to a channel, the yum repo must have the repodata directory inside the directory in which the packages are. It should be possible to have the repodata directory one level higher, i.e. in the same directory where the directory with the packages is in, too.

i.e. instead of:
http://server/mirror/Packages/*.rpm
http://server/mirror/Packages/repodata/

this should also be possible:
http://server/mirror/Packages/*.rpm
http://server/mirror/repodata/
