creating local yum repositary
 

Hi all...

I have 5 .iso files, all of them together constitute RHEL5 distribution..I know how to create a yum repository with a single .iso file..how can i create a single yum local repository which should include the packages that are in all 5 .iso files....

Main problem that I am facing is how to mount all .iso files under a single folder..

awaiting for positive reply...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance....

you might be able to use something like unionfs to do this, but outside of that, you'd need to copy the files directly. I would expect though that you could keep them separate though really, either making a single repo data file in the directory above their mount points, or have a separate repo per cd anyway.

What I did was copy all the files to one directory then ran "createrepo ./" and it works fine.

Certainly the best approach, but if disk space is not available there should be other options if required.
