Description of problem:
yum accepts directories in yum.conf's [serverid], but doesn't create them.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-2.0.4-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a [serverid] containing a directory name, e.g.:

                                                                     
                                                                      
[ftp.fedora.us/0.95/stable]
name=Fedora/0.95/stable
baseurl=ftp://ftp.quicknet.nl/pub/Linux/ftp.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/0.95/i386/yum/stable

2. run
yum check-update

    

Actual Results:  yum chokes on /var/cache/yum/ftp.fedora.us/0.95/stable
not being present.

Expected Results:  Yum should either create the directory or complain
about this not being a legal [serverid].

I'd prefer the former.


Additional info:

Work-around: Manually create the cache-directory.
