install local dir as yum repository
 

Hi I have yum installed and working but what I want to be able to do is store an rpm in a folder called base on roots fedora 2 desktop. Well I have actually done this but I dont know what to add to yum.conf to make a local machine directory into a repository rather than baseurl which would be on a indepemdent web server. Can making directory repositorys be done? and what goes in yum.conf if this is the case?

Any help greatly appreciated
David

read this article on how to create everything

then in yum.conf
[custom updates]
name=Fedora Core Custom Updates
baseurl=file://home/updates/where/ever/

thanks for the info Ive got a yum repo set up now , its just a pity ive deleted rpm
