Hi,

I'm having local ftp repository under /var/ftp/pub..may I know how can I add extra rpms to that repository, I tried to recreate the xml repo file but it didn't work with the ftp clients, they can't see the additional rpms thou.

this is the client repo

[ftp-local]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Source
baseurl=ftp://master/pub
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

this is the server repo, I could make it as local file but this for testing purpose

[local-local]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Source
baseurl=ftp://master/pub
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

and this is how I test

[root@master yum.repos.d]# yum list all | grep rubygems
rubygems.noarch 1.8.10-1.el6 @rbel6


[root@client yum.repos.d]# yum list all | grep rubygems

thanks

Samir

Have you tried running yum repo-regen (or was it regen-repo?) on the client?
Can you run `ftp master` from the client's command line successfully?

Have you tried re-running createrepo (mrepo)

what's the output of yum list-repos (list-repo? repo-list? It's been a couple year's since I managed an RPM package server) on both the client and server.

Also the output of rubygems.noarch ...el6 makes me think that's from EPEL and not your local repo, but maybe you're just running a mirror and it is

Dear thanks for the reply, actually I was preparing local repo, and yes EPEL was one of the repos, now it is working, I was configuring it as a puppet server, and it seems because I changed the entry in /etc/hosts from master to puppet it didn't work.
