I have setup a local repository containing several .rpm files. I created a comps.xml file outlining the category and groups for the local repository. However, when I issue the yum grouplist command, I get the following error:
Failed to add groups file for repository: localRepo - comps file is empty/damaged
However, if I try to install one of the the packages in the repository, it works just fine.
Here are the steps I took to create the repodata:
The comps.xml and repository are stored in the directory:
/var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
cd /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64
createrepo -g comps.xml .
This created a /var/www/html/myrepo/x86_64/repodata directory which contains the comps.xml and comps.xml.gz file.
Here is my comps.xml file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE comps PUBLIC "-//Red Hat, Inc.//DTD Comps info//EN" "comps.dtd">
