createrepo_c

English | 中文

This project builds multi-architecture Docker images for createrepo_c — a C implementation of the createrepo tool used to generate RPM repository metadata.

The images are based on Anolis OS and support the following architectures:

Architecture	Platform
🐉 loong64	linux/loong64
💻 amd64	linux/amd64
📱 arm64	linux/arm64

The primary motivation is to bring createrepo_c to the LoongArch (loong64) platform, while also providing amd64 and arm64 variants for convenience.

Branches and versions

Branch	createrepo_c version	Status
1.2.4	1.2.4	Active
main	—	Repository root

The branch name corresponds to the upstream createrepo_c release version. Tags follow the pattern <createrepo_c-version>+<build-number> (e.g., 1.2.4+2).

Docker images

Images are published to Docker Hub under the kubernetesloong64/createrepo namespace.

Multi-arch manifest

The multi-arch manifest automatically selects the correct architecture for your platform:

Image tag	Platform
kubernetesloong64/createrepo:1.2.4-anolis	linux/amd64、linux/arm64、linux/loong64

Architecture-specific images

Image tag	Platform
kubernetesloong64/createrepo:1.2.4-anolis-amd64	linux/amd64
kubernetesloong64/createrepo:1.2.4-anolis-arm64	linux/arm64
kubernetesloong64/createrepo:1.2.4-anolis-loong64	linux/loong64

Usage

Create a new RPM repository from a directory of .rpm packages:

docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/rpms:/rpms -v $(pwd)/repo:/repo kubernetesloong64/createrepo:1.2.4-anolis createrepo_c /rpms -o /repo

Update existing repository metadata (add new packages, remove stale entries):

docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/rpms:/rpms -v $(pwd)/repo:/repo kubernetesloong64/createrepo:1.2.4-anolis createrepo_c /rpms -o /repo --update

Both createrepo_c and createrepo (symlink) are available in the image.
