325	createrepo 0.10.4-2 seems terribly broken (truncated metadata and bad behavior)	Lewis Rosenthal		"createrepo-0.10.4-2.oc00.noarch.rpm is currently in experimental. This version of the script seems to dump all output to the console (even when told to be --quiet), and out of a total of 302 packages in the current on-disc ArcaOS repository, we seem to only get metadata built on the first(?) 34 of them.

Invocation:
{{{
[j:\localrep] sh -c j:/usr/bin/createrepo --no-database --simple-md-filenames .
}}}

Result:

scrolling output to the screen, and when done, very small metadata files, which, though readable, do not contain info on all files.

--simple-md-filenames seems to be respected, as does --no-database. --quiet (or -q) has no effect on the excess screen output, though it does seem to suppress the initial report of workers starting up (tried with no additional workers, then 10, and finally 20) and the final report of the files being written.

The older 0.4.11-2 works perfectly.

I'm marking this as an ""other"" component instead of python itself."	defect	closed	major		other		highest	fixed
