#4112 dist-repo option for repodata checksum algorithm

Reopen Issue

Hi,

i am using dist-repo for generating repositories and copying them along with the generated repodata on my repo server. However, in RHEL5 the sha256 algorithm for generating repodata files is not supported. I've searched for such option per tag, but I could not find any.

Am I missing something or it's not available?

Thank you in advance!

That's not available now (simply depends on version createrepo_c installed on builder). We need to support this in createrepo_c directly (#3945)). What you can do (but it could be too demanding compare to some non-koji workaround) is that you can use old builder (e.g. from https://pagure.io/koji/commits/legacy-py24) which is still compatible with current hub, install it on rhel6 machine and then you would get rhel5-compatible repodata. (Even some newer releases would probably work, but this it basically what we're using for rhel6 builders). Anyway, if you're able to build rhel5 content, you probably have some older builders already in game :-)

Thank you very much. I have already workarounded the issue on my end.
Will look forward to see progress in #3945
