Hello all, I am trying to build my own yum repository to make packages of my choice available for distribution within my organization. I have a set of packages that I are not part of the official distribution. I am quite at home with the procedure in earlier Redhat versions, but with RHEL5 (the first version to use yum) I am hitting a roadblock. Here is what I have: I have an RPM package: cronolog-1.6.2-10.pg.x86_64.rpm. It installs cleanly on my test system (rpm -U --test). I created a directory, /home/testrepo/RPMS and copied this RPM there. I ran createrepo: [root@meibok ~]# createrepo /home/testrepo/RPMS 1/1 - cronolog-1.6.2-10.pg.x86_64.rpm Saving Primary metadata Saving file lists metadata Saving other metadata I created a file in /etc/yum.repos.d: [root@meibok ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/test.repo [test] name = Test Repo baseurl = file:///home/testrepo/RPMS enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 0 I also disabled a lot of features from the default yum install of RHEL, in particular: I disabled rhel5.repo and rhel-debuginfo.repo I disabled the plugin for RHN in rhnplugin.conf I edited my yum.conf to read: [root@meibok ~]# cat /etc/yum.conf [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=10 errorlevel=10 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=0 plugins=1 metadata_expire=1800 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d Now, when I run yum: [root@meibok ~]# yum info cronolog Loading "installonlyn" plugin "rhnplugin" plugin is disabled Running "config" handler for "installonlyn" plugin Yum Version: 3.0.1 COMMAND: yum Installroot: / Ext Commands: cronolog Setting up repositories test 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Setting up Package Sacks primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.0 kB 00:00 ################################################## 1/1 Reading Local RPMDB Matching packages for package list to user args [root@meibok ~]# That's all. What am I doing wrong or missing? Any pointers will be appreciated.
