[Yum] Redhat 8

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

 



Hello
I'm new to yum and have some questions I didn't see answered in the
archives.
I have mirrored the updates for Redhat 8 on my http server in
http://192.168.44.13/RH8_updates/
In that directory there are i386,i586,i686,noarch and athlon directories
with the latest
updates in them.  I run yum-arch without any problems and it creates a
'headers' 
directory in the  RH8_updates directory with the rest of the above
directories.
The server [Redhat 7.1] runs yum version yum-0.9.4-1_7x from RPM. [it
doesn't like
20030203.tar.gz]

On the RH8 client I use yum 20030203.tar.gz and set the yum.conf file as
follows:
[RH8 doesn't like yum-0.9.4-1_7x from RPM]


[root@celeron root]# cat /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
 
[myserver]
name=RH8
baseurl=http://192.168.44.13/RH8_updates/

Then I run 'yum update'. It shows me all the available rpms and I select
'y' to
install them.  All is good untill :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/bin/yum, line 38, in ?
    yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
  File yummain.py, line 240, in main
    errors = tsfin.run(callback.install_callback, '')
TypeError: an integer is required

Everything gets updated except kernel and kernel-smp rpms.

If I run 'yum update' again it sits there for hours doing nothing and
'top' shows yum using %99 resources.

So far I/m very happy with yum.  

TIA

Kevin B
