Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 131807
after an update a serious discrepancy between yum and its docs
Last modified: 2014-01-21 17:49:55 EST
Description of problem: After an update to yum-2.1.3 its manual page does not describe that version anymore. For example, it refers to documentation of yum-arch which is not available. It describes commands like 'yum clean oldheaders' but attempt to use that results only in "Usage: yum [options] ..." message. OTOH there are some actions like "generate-rss" which are not described at all and options mentioned in Changelog ('--obsoletes') where a meaning cannot be glimpsed even from a usage message (not mentioning any other form of a documentation). BTW - how to achieve effects equivalent to an old 'yum-arch' is a real mystery. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.1.3-1
1. yum 2.1.X is not yet complete. 2. I acknowledged the lack of docs when I announced yum 2.1.X on fedora-devel-list and yum-devel list 3. if you'd like to make a repository download and install createrepo from: http://linux.duke.edu/metadata/generate/ I'm going to close this as upstream b/c it's something that's known and being worked on by the upstream maintainer, me.
