Creating a yum repo (via cobbler) from "scratch"?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




I apologize in advance if my questions here are "dumb", but I'm kind of new to this, and am trying to wrap my head around a lot of information.

I've successfully set up a basic cobbler (0.6.5) on an RHEL 5 server, have imported a distro from the rhel-5.1-server-x86_64-dvd iso, and have PXE booted and built a basic system from this cobbler server. That I was able to do all of that in a day of work was amazing, and a testament to the quality of all of the software involved.

My question is this: I'd like to set up a yum repository, available from the cobbler server, containing a few RPMs that aren't available from another repository (meaning, I'm not "mirroring" another repository.) One example would be that I want to have my own repository of the IBM TSM client RPMs, which one only gets by FTPing them from IBM's site:

$ ls -1 *.rpm
TIVsm-API64.i386.rpm
TIVsm-API.i386.rpm
TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm
TIVsm-HSM.i386.rpm

I'd like to have it so I could simply run "yum install tsm-client" on a system built from my cobbler server, and have the above RPMs and their dependencies (all included in rhel5 core) installed. This question might be best for a yum-specific list, but since cobbler has repository mirroring integrated, I'd give it a shot here. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
	-s-
