Repo Man!

I finally got around to getting my repo fully completed. Professor Chris Tyler in our last class stated that using the --secret-keys option with the gpg export command would actually be exporting your private key and use that to sign your RPM's. Which is what i was doing unfortunately, and caused me the inability to install my RPM's from my repo because of the error: Package could not be installed, this RPM is not signed.

This drove me insane, so thanks a lot Chris Tyler for your assistance!

My repo is up and running at: http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~ataychouri/rpms/
my repo file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=HeiipR2W
my RPM release package: http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~ataychouri/rpms/ahmad-0.0.1-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm

And to make sure i only used my own repo when testing the progress i always issused these switches with my yum command: yum install --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=ahmad gzip

I hope to be throwing in weekly updates from now on regarding my Project for SBR. I hope to be doing the Lima drivers for the Mali cards in the snowball and oriegen boards. Hope to see you guys soon!
