[SOLVED] opensuse 11.3 Local Repo

lealsaballos · 11-22-2010, 11:49 AM

hi all!

Last week I successfully configured a local repository for CentOS. I did it because I'm teaching a course with this distro.

I am also teaching another course with opensuse, sadly, I could not configure a local repository for opensuse. I thought this would be easier.

Local internet connection is very slow, so I need to configure the local repository.

I have searched for information on the novell site and find nothing.

All help is very welcome, thank you.

You can add a local repo with the 'zypper' commnad:

Code:

zypper ar my/dir/with/rpms local

the 'ar' is add repository, the directory can be /mnt/cdrom/xxxxx if you have your rpm files on CD, and 'local' is the repo name.

See:http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_us...g_repositories

I forgot to add: you can then install from the local repo with zypper.

Code:

cd my/dir/with/rpms
zypper install *.rpm

ok, I got it, but I also need bring access to other hosts via web.

The main idea is setting up a web server, and create a http repository.

Last week I made it using CentOS, I found some informations at centos's wiki. But it was impossible to find similar information at novell web sites.

And I forgot to say Thanks because I didn't know about zypper, look like a very nice tool.

Once again Thanks
