Hello everybody,

I set up a repository server hosting the RH7 packages to provide them for my network.
I basically set up an apache and used reposync to get the packages, it looks like this:

I got two of those, for baseos and appstream.

This way it syncs the entire repo in my local /dir.

Now I got two problems that I have to solve:

A) I want to keep several versions of the repo, because I might want to add another server later that should have the same versions of patches etc installed. So I plan on copying the directory and create a sublink on the apache server, something similar to: localrepo.domain/2021-05-20
Is that a good way to do it? Or is there better options

B) The software that's running on these servers sometimes is only allowed to run on specific minor-releases of RH7. Let's say it's 7.6.
How can I create a repo that does only contain the packages of RH7.6?

Thank you for your help =)

This sounds a lot like RHEL 8.

FYI, EUS (Extended Update Support) for RHEL 7.6 ends on 2021-05-31, i.e. in less than two weeks.

Correct, I have 2 repo servers: One for RH8 (this one is easy, I 'just' keep the newest packages on it, so setting it up was simple).
Plus another one for RH7.
And yes, I know about it being EOL soon. I'm not happy with it either...
