This might sound like an oddball issue - but I have an application I
wish to spawn an internal HTTP Server (Via Python SimpleHTTPServer)
after executing createrepo on a local directory of RPMS and then tell
remote hosts to leverage the newly spawned HTTP server as the yum
server- the layout looks like this:
packages/
...some rpms
repodata (from createrepo)
I spawn the HTTP server via:
(Python)
import SimpleHTTPServer
import SocketServer
Handler = SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler
httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", 9193), Handler)
while not StopServ:
httpd.handle_request()
And the client is given a custom yum repo file:
[updates-released]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://10.1.1.108/upgrades/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Now the problem arises when a yum-update is ran, for example, I have a
Samba update to push:
[root@foo /etc/yum.repos.d]# yum update

I can see the HTTP connections hitting the spawn server - now, I
suspected this might have been due to the port, so I switched it to
port 80, that was not it - given there is no proxy between the two,
and the network is flat, I know that http connections are being
correctly handled/made.
I'm using FC4 with the latest revision of createrepo
(createrepo-0.4.4-1.noarch.rpm) - does anyone have any ideas or
pointers?
