http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p*440160 set up a yum repo—HOWTO /etc/yum

creatrepo on AX3SP1

  1. change /etc/yum.repo.d/asianux.repo
 baseurl = http://127.0.0.1/peter
  1. I put xpdf into the dir in asianux.repo
  2. $creatrepo
  3. run
 $yum list

then I see the right info

  1. but when I copy sos into peter/

    then $creatrepo

  2. $yum list can only give the xpdf info, even though I rm xpdf and run $creatrepo again
  3. delete all the xml in /var/cache/yum, now it is OK

tips

  1. AX3SP1 has creatrepo installed as default
  2. yum-arch is not, since it is considered obselete
  3. /etc/yum.conf is same as /etc/axtu/axtu.conf

mv what's in

/etc/yum.repo.d/asianux.repo
to /etc/yum.conf

then everything still works, good

$yum list available --------run this to test if the repo is found or not

baseurl = http://127.0.0.1/peter     ---------works
baseurl = http://10.1.0.155/peter     ---------works
