I've been wondering if it is possible to create a repository out of a directory you have downloaded rpms into, and if so, how.

Hi John Use "createrepo", it's the easiest option. The only parameter it needs is the name of the directory where the RPM files are located. It will recursively hunt for RPMs and create a "repodata" subdirectory (that's a "rpm-md" aka "yum" repository, you can use it with yast2, zmd, zypper, smart, yum, and recent versions of apt-rpm). e.g.: cd ~/my/rpms createrepo . Then add ~/my/rpms as the location of the repository. NB: createrepo is in the package... "createrepo" ;) - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFTSLyr3NMWliFcXcRAviBAJ95ODzY/rYzyJcQZjLnaYwmNVUbtwCdEX0Z taV/ZxcUvm3YMVdtppFRlao= =9tz0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
