Re: ow to update a minimal local repo

it did not work the out put is down there
it's very easy to try the script yourself
just copy the kernel rpm from fedora DVD or from fedora mirror (the
releases directory not the updates dir)
cd foo && createrepo .
then add this local repo (even if disbaled) to /etc/yum.repos.d/
and then

[root@localhost ~]# python update-localrepo.py
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, fedorakmod, kernel-module, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

I'm I on the wrong way, I think there should be a better way to
populate repos after doing some enable/disable repos!
