I am trying to use yam to create a repo based on the 4.4 CDs. I have copied the contents of the CDs to /var/dist/CentOS-4.4-i386. No matter what I try, yam always creates an emtpy repo.
This is my current yam.conf file:
[main] srcdir = /var/yam wwwdir = /var/www/yam arch = i386
[centos] name = CentOS $release ($arch) release = 4 arch = i386 metadata = repomd os = file:///var/dist/CentOS-4.4-i386/CentOS/
And this is the directory structure after running 'yam -ug':
/var/yam /var/yam/CentOS-4-i386-disc4.iso /var/yam/CentOS-4-i386-disc2.iso /var/yam/CentOS-4-i386-disc3.iso /var/yam/centos-i386 /var/yam/centos-i386/os /var/yam/CentOS-4-i386-disc1.iso

It simply will not copy or link the RPMs from my distribution directory. What is the correct way to do this?
