# yum repolist
The result is not OK.
Repository are on internet or can be a directory on server Example: /repo
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
Create a file:
# vi myrepo.repo
This is important that the file name is .repo.
3 things are very important:
Label:
[myrepo]
name=myrepo
baseurl=file:///repo
This is using an URI which can be file:// if is local or http:// or ftp://. After that is the path to repository. If is local it starts with /. There will be 3 slashes: /// !!!!!!!!!!
gpgcheck=0
This will switch off the file integrity.
For test is ok because it is hard to setup other steps.
Check it:
# yum repolist
Check the repository list:
# yum search ftp
# which cronyd
This is the process used to manage cron service.
The name of the process is /sbin/chronyd
Find from rpm:
# rpm -gf /sbin/cronyd
I see that the name of the RPM is chrony
Find all what is in the package:
# rpm ql chrony
Before installing scripts check the packages. If the packages are downloaded, check it like this:
# rpm -ql packageName
# rpm -qpl packageName
Check the scripts:
# rpm -qp –scripts packageName
Install a local package which is not in repository:
# yum localinstall packageName
Useful command:
# repoquery – is checking the packages while are in repository:
# repoquery -ql yp-tools
Install manually a repository:
wget ftp://server.example.com/repository
Extract
# createrepo /downloads
# repoquery – request information.
