Centos 6, local yum repo, and multiple versions of the same rpm
- by Tom Skelley
I'm trying to set up a really simple local repo. I want to have a basic repo with two versions of only one rpm, so I did:
mkdir /packages/x64
copy two rpms to /packages/x64
[root@repo x64]# createrepo --verbose /packages/x64
1/2 - jre-6u37-linux-amd64.rpm
2/2 - jre-7u9-linux-x64.rpm
Saving Primary metadata
Saving file lists metadata
Saving other metadata
Added the repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo
But when I do:
[root@repo x64]# yum list jre
I get:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Available Packages
jre.x86_64 1.7.0_09-fcs local
ie it only shows the latest version. I know that they're both in the repo because I've run this:
[root@repo x64]# rpm -qp jre-6u37-linux-amd64.rpm
jre-1.6.0_37-fcs.x86_64
[root@repo x64]# rpm -qp jre-7u9-linux-x64.rpm
jre-1.7.0_09-fcs.x86_64
and when I remove the latter version, and run createrepo again, the former shows up. Most puzzling, what am I missing?
