Problem with installing from local repo
I have created a local repository to install linux with. (class assignment)
Created the following file structure off of /html directory; /yum/base/13/i386 /yum/updates/13/i386 copied the contents of the packages from my fedora dvd; mount /dev/cdrom /mnt cd /mnt/Packages cp -v * /var/www/html/yum/base/13/i386 cd / umount /mnt using rsync against fedora mirror updated the base to have compete set of .rpm packages from the Everything directory. Ran createrepo /var/www/html/yum/base/13/i386 Verified repodata folder was created and the contents are correct, shown below [root@fedora]# ls -l /var/www/html/yum/base/13/i386/repodata total 26416 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14224799 Sep 13 10:03 filelists.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6357754 Sep 13 10:03 other.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6448581 Sep 13 10:03 primary.xml.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1379 Sep 13 10:03 repomd.xml Boot the PC and start the install using a kickstart file (if you need to see it let me know), all runs fine until it gets to the point of resolving dependency then it errors out - unable to resolve dependency against the repository. May not be the exact phrasing but generally speaking to that effect. I'm sure I have done something silly but any help would be greatly appreciated. |
just how big is that local repo ?
50+ Gig or more -- could go to 100+ Gig in size if it is only a few meg then there is a problem and did you make BY HAND a "local_repo.repo " and is it enabled ? " enable=1" look at the dvd installrepo file as a template PS. this is your homework so i will only ask pointed questions / and pointers -- you need to find the answers . |
Sorry for the delay in getting back, my test pc had a processor issue, it needed replacement and being an older box took some time finding a suitable replacement.
The local repo is over 70 gig in size, fair to say it is complete. Think we are not discussing the same problem, but I could be wrong. Now with the box running I again attempted a install from my local repository with the following message; "Unable to read group information from repositories. This is a problem with the generation of your install tree" |
