Situation
sam reports the following: *** Found package repositories: 0
To update a server, yum repositories are being used that are created by ZCM.
To update a server, yum repositories are being used that are created by ZCM.
Resolution
The problem has 2 parts:
- The yum repositories are not signed. Please see this cool solution how this can be achieved.
- Run sam with the option --no-strict-repo-description
Cause
When creating a YUM repository with ZCM, the repomd.xml is not
digitally signed and also ZCM is not providing label, distribution
and version. This prevents sam,
when started with no options, to display the repository
information
