Currently I use 0.4.9, but there is even 0.9.6 > available. Any version 0.4.9 or later should be fine (I think even 0.4.4 will work, but I haven't checked). Anything "recent" will also add group_gz which the yum in testing can/will use, but that's just a bonus if it's not a problem to use that. > Or does it not matter wrt the outcome? In theory the DB is versioned, so you can have createrepo make a version that yum doesn't like ... I don't think this has ever been possible though, and it's very likely we won't use this feature going forward due to the downsides (the client has to download the .sqlite file to work out it can't use it -- and it'd currently "break" mdpolicy). -- James Antill <james at fedoraproject.org> Fedora
