Description Remi Collet 2009-05-03 08:08:25 UTC 
When trying to generate metadata for an older Fedora version from F-11 using createrepo-0.9.7-6.fc11 with

createrepo --checksum sha --database .

In the repomd.xml checksum are sha : ok

<checksum type="sha">7075fceb5a9c8a9dcde06a6234ee49aa0eaf789b</checksum>

But in the primary.xml.gz, sha256 still used

<checksum type="sha256" pkgid="YES">75954e069e8eb547633d4e4561e220ba5bdcc7ae22f7405b48b88d8238238bc3</checksum>

The medata generated are unusable (as older yum can't check this checksum)

Issue seems from yum as yumbased.CreateRepoPackage set sha256 as default checksum type.

Here is a simple hack in createrepo which seems to work without changing yum lib.

I hope this will help.
