I've setup a local yum repository for about 25 workstations and I'm using rsync from a local mirror. Do I need to create my own XML headers, i.e. the 'repodata' directory, or since I'm syncing the whole updates directory can I use the 'repodata' directory from the mirror?
Yes, that should be fine if you rsync the whole thing.
I also have a question on using createrepo. The directory layout is: ~/updates/ ~/updates/headers/ ~/updates/repodata/ ~/updates/RPMS/ If I do the following in the 'updates' directory: # createrepo -v ./RPMS The 'repodata' diretcory is created under the 'RPMS' directory and not the current 'updates' directory. How can I have the 'repodata' directory created/updated in the correct directory under 'updates'?
You need to run |createrepo| against the directory under which you want the |repodata| directory to appear. In your case run:
createrepo ~/updates _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
