similar to: Local repository via createrepo assumes apache?

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 run a local repo for our company's packages. Since yesterday we have problems with creating the repo files. When i run "createrepo --update -s sha rpmdir" i get the folowing error: File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 249, in ? main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 223, in main mdgen.doPkgMetadata()

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

Hi, I did too forget one package (at least) from the release (createrepo). It''s now available as addons/ia64/RPMS/createrepo-0.4.1-1.noarch.rpm I am truly sorry. It just slipped out. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi@iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/

I wanted to point out this functionality in case others want to test it: http://centosnow.blogspot.com/2014/03/createrepo-and-parallel-delta-rpms-on.html For the record, this cuts down the metadata generation to 1/4 of the original time on my test platform.

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.

I have already 6 Centos machines here and it is getting strange having to pull down updates to each system. Seems like I should set up one system to pull updates and then all other systems to point to it. How? Plus then I would want to add to this repository. Say that a number of my systems use tomcat which is only available via rpm. I would like to be able to add it to my repository, and

I just tried an install from my local repo (boot from CD 1, use http method), and it failed right after entering the root password setting with: Unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree. Reboot So now what? Is there something I can just extract from the isos? (remember I did that rsync). Is this caused by running

Hi list, I run quite a few centos 5.3 servers and have a local yum repository which is working fine. Below a list of what I'm rsyncing at the moment + an extract from my / etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file I copied the OS directory from the install media and ran createrepo on that dir. I would like to upgrade my servers to 5.4. I was wondering if I could simply replace the

I need a clarification to the documentation. My manager added a 6.2 repo; however, when I try doing pxeboot installs, it fails, asserting that it can't find the group info. Another admin I work with thinks it's not really what it's failing in, and notes that it 404's on images/updates.img and images/product.img. We *think* that's irrelevant and ok. What is not clear to me is

Pulling out what little hair I have here, but stumbled onto a possible problem. I have a server running C6 apache that is set up with personal directories and no problem showing the files. You can see it at: medon.htt-consult.com/~rgm/pogo So I have a C7 apache server I am building. Files I create on the new server are listing fine. Files I have copied (with cp -avr ...) get permission

I have set up a local filesystem repo thus: # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/LocalFiles.repo # LocalFiles.repo # # This repo is used with rpms contained in a local filesystem repo # created with createrepo. You can use this repo and yum to install # items directly off the local disk. # # To use this repo with the other repos: # yum --enablerepo=localfiles yum --nogpgcheck <yum command> # # or to
