Is this possible? you can have multiple urls on a single baseurl= line in a conf file - that's just defining different mirrors. However, typically, that means you have a local mirror, not a partial copy of some of the data. If you really want to do that, I'd suggest copying the pkgs you care about to local but making sure the metadata is identical to what's on the upstream mirror. Then you can specify the additional baseurl and yum will move through each of them until it finds a responsive/working mirror. does that help? -sv ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:26:00 +0300 From: "Muayyad AlSadi" <alsadi@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: set priority for yum repository To: "Yellowdog Updater, Modified" <yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <385866f0807170926h48cc122fvaa1ca6751b5181a2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > We want "yum install" to check the local repository before checking other mirror repositories.

So, he has to make it so his repos won't fail to have any valid mirrors. so using cost on another mirror would work, if only he's willing to disable the other repos when not on the net. -sv ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 15:32:52 -0400 From: "Phil Li" <pli888@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: set priority for yum repository To: "Yellowdog Updater, Modified" <yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <631cf85c0807171232p31898c2eo6f1394ee597141ef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Many thanks for the replies! I did not know the option "cost" :-) I would like to use createrepo to build a small local repository inside a virtual machine. The size of the repository should be as small as possible. The VM will be distributed to students on a CD/DVD. Even without network connection, they can use yum to install a few packages. If Internet connection is available, I hope they can install any package from an online repository (e.g. kernel.org) using yum.

This works nicely, e.g. all apps talk to me in English :) I just found that while yum itself is also talking in English with me, when I ask for a grouplist it presents it in German, e.g. using LC_CTYPE settings instead of LC_MESSAGES. Other yum commands like yum info for example are using LC_MESSAGES. Would it make sense to change yum to use LC_MESSAGES instead of LC_CTYPE in grouplist as well? And maybe anywhere else yum may be using LC_CTYPE? -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
