Description of problem: Createrepo leaves behind temporary directories: * Empty "garbageid" as a sibling of "repodata" * Non-empty "/var/tmp/createrepoXXXXXX/garbageid" containing repo metadata The XXXXXX of the latter case is random so this is gradually filling up my /var filesystem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): createrepo-0.9.9-4.fc15
Thank you - I've figured out what I left out - setting base_persisdir in the repo setup for --update. It's fixed in upstream with this patch. http://createrepo.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=createrepo.git;a=commitdiff;h=8bac55ba0417669fe87343493de5168545a5ea3a I'll push out a new release soon. thanks
I applied the patch on top of createrepo-0.9.9-4.fc15 and it resolved the first problem but not the second one - /var/tmp is still full of temp createrepo* directories.
the /var/tmp dirs are not a bug. They will be cleaned up through normal tmpreaper activities.
I run a lot of createrepo jobs; after a quiet day I have this: # ls -lrtd /var/tmp/createrepo* drwx------. 3 paul paul 4096 Aug 9 19:47 /var/tmp/createrepox7pZLu drwx------. 3 paul paul 4096 Aug 9

which is why I noticed the problem in the first place. Why can't createrepo just clean up after itself anyway?
fair enough - I've added a cleanup function for these tmpdirs upstream however, could I encourage you to run your tmp reaper more often? :) patch: http://createrepo.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=createrepo.git;a=commitdiff;h=850b368ced63b2c0b7f2a4f2fb014d1daba7c80c
Thanks, that's much better now :-)
Is that patch going to be in a release soon or do we have to download and patch our own systems?
It should be in f16. thanks
*** Bug 749107 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
No wonder. Even yum does not clean up the rpms it downloads to /var/lib/yum. X86-64 F15
Reopening. This is still happen on createrepo-0.10-1.fc19.noarch It is problem for my on Copr server where we run creatrepo quite often. /var/tmp/createrepo* have size of 1.5 GB there. Deleting those file more often is no option for me. I would have to delete it every 5 minutes and I can delete files of some currently running createrepo. Can you please delete those files. Or if you hesitate to do it - at least please implement something like --clean-after-myself.
Raising priority. Copr had run out of disk space again due this behaviour. I will have to allocate some storage for /var/tmp just because of those temporary files.
Created attachment 848204 [details] Patch This *should* fix the problem. However I did not test it - because I discovered createrepo_c and I will try to use that one.

However I did not test it - because I > discovered createrepo_c and I will try to use that one. The patch looks good at a first glance. I'm interested to hear if createrepo_c works out for you, I've been thinking about testing it with mash + bodhi at some point soon.
After two days with createrepo_c, I do not see any residual temporary file. Lowering priority as createrepo_c is very good workaround :)
