In fact... anytime you do this.. you'll have to include a reference to base in the yum config you use. Updates could very well pull in new packages from base.. in some cases..when packaging dependancies are cleaned up. But you'll see that when you try to run repoclosure against just your collection of rpms. You could try to get really really fancy and try to figure out when this is happen and include parts of base if needed so the cd could be used stand-alone without additional network support...but that would take a bit more effort to identify when this happens. > Actually, I was thinking that, given the nature of such a CD, a better option > might be to include a script on the CD that generates the correct config file > and passes it to yum, perhaps pulling any additional settings from > /etc/yum.conf (or perhaps not...).
