I spent the last 2 days of my free time trying to serve the Fedora9 Everything ISO DVD as a repo to a set of servers using yum. Here is some background on the http tree i have setup: http://build/F9/i386/core/ loop mounted F9-i386-DVD ISO. Works ok. http://build/F9/i386/updates/ mirrored copy of F9 updates. Works ok. http://build/F9/i386/livna/ mirrored copy of livna for F9. Works ok. http://build/F9/i386/local/ locally compiled ~20 packages. Works ok. http://build/F9/i386/extras/ copy of "Everything" Packages/ dir. PROBLEM! The .../extras/ repo just does not want to work. Here is what I have done so far on the yum server serving data out to yum clients: 1. copied the contents of the F9 Everything ISO DVD Packages dir to extras/ 2. cd extras/ 3. createrepo . DNS works fine, all files set to 644 and extras dir is 755 and I see the repomd.xml file being picked by the client when checking the apache logs on the yum server. Now on the clients i have the following /etc/yum.repo.d/local.repo file: [core] name=FC$releasever/$basearch - core baseurl=http://build/FC$releasever/$basearch/core enabled=1 [updates] name=FC$releasever/$basearch - updates baseurl=http://build/FC$releasever/$basearch/updates enabled=1 [livna] name=FC$releasever/$basearch - livna baseurl=http://build/FC$releasever/$basearch/livna enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 [local] name=FC$releasever/$basearch - local baseurl=http://build/FC$releasever/$basearch/local enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 [extras] name=FC$releasever/$basearch - extras baseurl=http://build/FC$releasever/$basearch/extras enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Now if I try and do a "yum install zabbix" for package zabbix which is in the extras/ repo i get the answer "No package zabbix available". If however I copy the package zabbix from extras/ to local/ repo and rerun "createrepo ." I can then install it without a problem. In extras/ repo there are ~9700 packages so could that be a problem ? Could a problem be caused by some of the packages being identical and also available in the core/Packages/ dir repo ? Any other ideas what could be causing this to fail ?
