I am using Nexus Repository Manager OSS 2.14.4-03 on RHEL5.
When using the Yum: Generate Meta Data capability, the task fails with the Nexus log saying: 'org.sonatype.nexus.yum.internal.task.CommandLineExecutor - Options Error: option --no-database not recognized.'
I know that RHEL5 only supports createrepo v0.4.9, which does not recognize the --no-database option. This thread, however, https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-6801 raises the issue and claims it has been solved. According to the comments on this thread, It seems there is a variable within the yum plugin called final @Named("${nexus.yum.useNoDatabaseSwitch:-true}") boolean useNoDatabaseSwitch) .
but I can't figure out how to set this variable. I think all I need to do is set this boolean to false.
Also, the plugin configuration mentioned in that thread might be outdated because the Yum plugin is now included with Nexus. I can't seem to find any configuration options for the Yum plugin, no yum.xml to be seen.
Any help would be great, thanks!
Full nexus log from the Yum: Generate Metadata task is included below
