Hello, I am attempting to build an exported file system for diskless nodes. My distribution is Scientific Linux 7.7, which is a Redhat variant, and the command I am using is: yum install @Base kernel dracut-network nfs-utils --installroot=/node_root --releasever=/ The repository problem manifests as a mistranslation of the '$slreleasever' environment variable. This makes all the FTP repositories used by YUM malformed. The value '$slreleasever' appears to be inserted to the URLs rather than the proper value '7x'. Hence the URLs read: http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/%24slreleasever/x86_64/os/Packages/ rather than: http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7x/x86_64/os/Packages/ Has anyone encountered this issue with yum before? Is there a solution? I have tried 'yum clean all' and friends. Thanks for any help _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
