similar to: Jigdo, etc...

Hi I am installing CentOS4 over ether network using http and kickstart. I boot from the first CentOS CD and at "boot:" prompt I input "ks=http://localserver/install/custom.cfg". Except for minor glitches like "Kernel-Development group not found" warning, the process is smooth and is almost completely automated. Now, I want to add additional RPMS to the CentOS/RPMS

Hi Is there a jigdo image available for CentOS-5.3? Or is there a jigdo project for CentOS? Thanks Marcelo

Hi Ralph I received this e-mail from Fedora Infrastructure list. My problem at that moment was a proper syntax for the jigdo-file command. Using the their script as reference, I made a simpler one to test the command[1]. And it's working: newt (Linux) $pwd; ls -l *.jigdo *.template /users/newt2/mgarcia/iso/dvd -rw-r--r-- 1 mgarcia slocate 214226 May 13 13:44

Hello, I'd like to announce a release of a CentOS 5 DVD image, with i386 and x86_64 installations. This is an independent work, so please don't bother CentOS lists with bugs related to the installer only. Summary of changes: * i686 and x86_64 install from a single dvd (automatic detection on boot) * updates as of 2007-04-26 * no kdelibs-api-docs, openoffice.org, tetex-doc and most

I'm creating a custom install / respin ISO with updated packages and a kickstart - starting from CentOS 6.5 minimal install DVD. I'm generally following the directions from http://smorgasbork.com/component/content/article/35-linux/128-building-a-custom-centos-6-kickstart-disc-part-1 . I can create the iso, boot, have it find the installation media (it prints "Found local installation

Hi List, I have been searching for the correct createrepo command to make a 6.4 respin. We have been doing this with previous versions using createrepo -u "media://$discinfo" -g ${DIR}/my_kickstart${VER}/comps.xml . Which had worked fine until now.

Hello, all - I've been throwing the question around on the kickstart-list for the last few days here, and can't quite get ahold of things. Please, allow me to explain. I am in the process of making a custom CentOS/RHEL kickstart install. It works well right now; however, it's a hackjob, and I am not comfortable with it as of yet. For the past few days, I've even gone as far as

I've been able to successfully kickstart CentOS 3.9 from the base repo, but no such luck after merging os and updates. I think I did everything right - updated base/comps.xml and regenerated hdlist/hdlist2. Updated the yum repo as well although I'm pretty sure it's not used by anaconda. This is difficult to debug. The setup is running under kvm on a CentOS 6.4 host, and for some

I've gone through the trouble (after some 10 rounds I finally have something I'm happy with) and generated jigdo/template files for CentOS 5.0 iso's (CD/DVD i386/x86_64) (and CentOS 4.4 while I was at it: CD/DVD/ServerCD SRPMS/i386/x86_64). (and I started on this before the thread about creating the DVD's from the CD's started ;-) ) They are available at:

When the update 1 iso's come out could jigdo templates also be released along with the bittorrent files? It would probably save a lot of bandwidth if bittorrent could be resumed on iso's rebuilt via jigdo from vast swathes of the iso's which most of us already have (the 4.0 packages and updates). Cheers, MaZe.

I''ve copied the contents of the Oracle Linux 6.3 installation media to an directory that''s exported via NFS: san2:~ # ls -1 /srv/md128/repositories/oracle/6.3/os/x86_64/ EFI EULA eula.en_US eula.py GPL HighAvailability images isolinux LoadBalancer media.repo Packages README-en README-en.html RELEASE-NOTES-en RELEASE-NOTES-en.html RELEASE-NOTES-x86_64-en

I've setup a local yum repository for about 25 workstations and I'm using rsync from a local mirror. Do I need to create my own XML headers, i.e. the 'repodata' directory, or since I'm syncing the whole updates directory can I use the 'repodata' directory from the mirror? I also have a question on using createrepo. The directory layout is: ~/updates/

I'm not on the YUM lists, so I'll post this here in the hope it will make someone happy. I'll forward the concept to Seth for consideration (if he doesn't see it here). This is a simple "createrepo" hack that would require corresponding support in the "yum" binary as well. I'm not sure this would work, but it's just an idea I figure I might as well

google for "centos error performing checksum" refers to createrepo but of course "yum install createrepo" also fails and the instructions appear to be overkill. Is there a "simple" soultion? here's the result of yum update: # yum -v update Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Config time: 0.118 Yum Version: 3.2.22 Setting up Package Sacks Loading mirror

I've retried again, and it still fails. I see that it's mounted /dev/sda2, which is where I've got the contents of a DVD, as /mnt/isolinux. The contents of that are: ls -a . GPL TRANS.TBL .. Packages images .discinfo RELEASE-NOTES-en-US.html isolinux .treeinfo RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

Hello list, I use the livecd-creator to customize my own livecd iso. I use the kickstart config file from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CentOS/sig-core-livemedia/master/kickstarts/centos-7-livecd.cfg. #livecd-creator -v --config centos-7-livecd.cfg --cache /var/cache/livecd finally I got a iso, but the iso is strange. The offical distribution iso is

Thanks for consideration I use this command for update my repo rsync -avzH --delete-after centos.mirror.angkasa.id::centos /home/centos/ --log-file=/var/log/rsync/rsync.log.$(date +%Y%m%d%H%m%S) Best Regard Mohsen On Mon, Jul 10, 2017 at 11:32 PM, Marcelo Roccasalva < marcelo-centos at irrigacion.gov.ar> wrote: > On Mon, Jul 10, 2017 at 3:49 PM, mohsen Abbaspour >

This week I set up a local mirror for a few dists, including Centos 4.0 and 4.2, and Fedora Core 3 and 4. I'm using a script called yum-pull. For the most part I really like the script, it automates the setup of your mirrors and tries a bunch of different mirrors when it goes out to get updates, if it fails on one it tries another. It uses the usual suspects, createrepo and repoview, among

I have created a local repo for CentOS 6 x86_64. I use a machine at 192.168.1.14 for that and created a directory structure /var/www/html/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64 then there are these directories at the location. Packages repodata Both are populated with many files. In my kickstart file I have a line: #repo --name=Updates --baseurl=http://192.168.1.14/centos/6.2/updates/x86_64/ All seems
