Setting a yum repo up

Its pretty easy to host a yum repo.


1) use create repo to build your repository for some rpms.

mkdir -p /var/www/html/pub/roofmonkey/rpm/ose/master
tito build --rpm --test -o /var/www/html/pub/roofmonkey/rpm/ose/master
createrepo /var/www/html/pub/roofmonkey/rpm/ose/master

2) launch a webserver in the corresponding directory

cd /var/www/html/ ; python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

3) Create a yum repo file:  You can ship this around to your other boxes.  Or use yum repo add.

cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/test-ose.repo
[roofmonkey-ose-master]
name=roofmonkey-ose-master
baseurl=http://$IP:$PORT/pub/roofmonkey/rpm/ose/master
enabled=1
sslverify=0
gpgcheck=0
EOF

run  yum info mypackage

You should see it reaching into your yum repos, on your webserver:
