Out of curiosity, how do you configure this repo to be used? I tried putting it into /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources on a RHEL4 box, and it doesn't seem to work as either a yum-style or apt-style repo, so up2date ends up barfing on it.
RHEL4 is quite depressing, we use smart on our RHEL4 boxes (so that we have a feature that was available on Mandrake 7.0, in 2000, being able to install packages on the installation media after installation), but the repo file is actually for yum.
Unfortunately, up2date on RHEL4 doesn't understand the new RPM meta-data repo as used by yum/smart etc., only the old legacy yum 1.x format.
Let me see if I can run yum-arch on the repo ...
Is there additional documentation somewhere that I've missed?
