Yum Repository

I have to setup an internal yum respository and I have never done it and can not find a decent howto on the net. Has anyone ever done this and if so did they document it?

Thanks

There's a good howto here.

Hey, thanks that site was a big help. However I followed all the steps and it worked great except for the rsync part, I get this error:

Code:

rsync -avrt rsync://distro.ibiblio.org/fedora-linux-core/updates/5/i386 --exclude=debug/ /var/www/html/yum/updates/
rsync: failed to connect to distro.ibiblio.org: Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(99)

any ideas?

Thanks

I was just able to connect to that repository, but you are missing the closing '/':

rsync -avrt rsync://distro.ibiblio.org/fedora-linux-core/updates/5/i386/ --exclude=debug/ /var/www/html/yum/updates/

The closing slash on the source means the contents of that directory, not the directory itself.
