+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #713747 +++ We need to be able to remove metadata from repodata using modifyrepo. I wrote a patch that does it (user has to provide --remove option). It also fixes updating existing metadata; original behaviour: - file already exists in repodata - a file with different checksum is added there (has the same mdtype) - the original file is *not* removed, new file is added; repodata points to the new file Now the old file is correctly removed from repodata dir. Could you also backport this to el6 and el5? (not sure if it is possible, but can't modifyrepo be used as is in el5?) --- Additional comment from dmach on 2011-06-16 09:15:04 EDT --- Created attachment 505037 [details] remove metadata patch
