Description Mads Kiilerich 2011-09-27 12:43:53 UTC 
I build with
repo --name=fedora-x86_64          --mirrorlist=...
repo --name=updates-x86_64         --mirrorlist=...
repo --name=updates-testing-x86_64 --mirrorlist=...
repo --name=fedora-i386            --mirrorlist=...
repo --name=updates-i386           --mirrorlist=...
repo --name=updates-testing-i386   --mirrorlist=...
and
livecd-creator --config=$ks --cache=yum-cache --fslabel=$kind -v -d ...

After building an empty directory for each repository is left behind. I would expect that only the yum-cache directories was left behind.

Sorted by date (but mostly within same second):

drwxr-xr-x.  2 dev  dev      32768 Sep 27 07:51 yum-cache/fedora-x86_64/packages

drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root      4096 Sep 27 07:52 updates-x86_64

I wonder if it could be caused by not setting base_persistdir as used by yumRepo.py.

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2012-01-18 23:31:36 UTC 
Looks that way - http://lists.baseurl.org/pipermail/yum-devel/2011-April/008090.html

I've set it to be the same as the cache dir and this seems to work fine with and without a cache dir specified.
