Yum vs Apt
For installing packages Yum repository is to be made on the server
{ createrepo <directory containing rpm files> ) and also client for Yum has to be configured on the client computer ( baseurl ) How these steps are done in debian for apt-get ? |
You install apt-get to the client, and point the sources.list file to the server. There are plenty of tutorials on how to set up a repo in various configurations. eg.

But it appears it is a very complex process in debian in redhat very very simple |
I have had to install debian etch a couple of times on servers and apt-get comes in a pre-configured way when I have done it I believe. The commands are slightly different between apt-get and yum but then Red Hat is different to Debian so not really a surprise. From my experience both applications aren't too different and pretty much do the same things, I wouldn't really say one is harder then the other. Personally I mainly use CentOS tho and as such am much more use to yum.

@r3sistance: but OP is talking about the repository setup.
@sunils1973: in general, this is true. Deb packages are also more rigidly defined etc. The repos are more flexable than yum repos with many more configuration options. The howto I sent was for a repo with upload support. If you want an automatic repo, then try this. A trivial repo? - try this. The process you describe sets up a trivial yum repo. So... what, exactly, do you want to do? |
