I'm hoping upstream (Dag) will fix this. I'm a bit reluctant to do such a drastic change, without knowing what might break as a result. In fact, I'm not involved any more with the mainership of local Fedora install mirrors, so mrepo is one of the odd packages in my group, and I'm probably going to orphan it soon. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. mrepo-0.8.7-1.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mrepo-0.8.7-1.fc12 mrepo-0.8.7-1.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mrepo-0.8.7-1.fc13 mrepo-0.8.7-1.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update mrepo'.

Description of problem: mrepo fails to obtain the createrepo version number. This prevents the repomd format metadata from being generated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mrepo-0.8.6-5.fc12.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a repomd format repo 2. Run mrepo, e.g., with "mrepo -fg <repo>" Actual results: $ mrepo -c scratch/mrepo.conf -fg f12-i386 /usr/bin/mrepo:18: DeprecationWarning: The popen2 module is deprecated.
