[CentOS] making my own group repo - Re: Back to Xfce

Mon Aug 6 21:34:05 UTC 2018

I tried making my own repo with just the groups in them and I got an 
error....

I used:

#createrepo -g /root/mygroups.xml /root/myrepo
Saving Primary metadata
Saving file lists metadata
Saving other metadata
Generating sqlite DBs
Sqlite DBs complete

Where /root/mygroup.xml is attached below.

Then I made:

cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepo.repo << EOF
[myrepo]
name=My repo for armhfp
baseurl=file:///root/myrepo/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

EOF

when I tried

yum group list

I got the error:

Failed to add groups file for repository: myrepo - comps file is 
empty/damaged

Perhaps my xml is too complex.  I made it by deleting most of the Centos 
and EPEL ones:

(Maybe I should cut out all the 'extra' stuff?)

all help greatly appreciated.
