Create Local YUM Repository

The following outlines steps taken to create a local repository to distribute our own binary RPM's.

I used this http://ramblings.narrabilis.com/wp/creating-a-yum-repository-repo-and-creating-a-yum-group-to-install-kickstart as an example.

# mkdir -p /var/www/html/psydexrepo

# mkdir -p /var/www/html/psydexrepo/os/x86_64

Create groups file (comps.xml)

# vi /var/www/html/psydexrepo/comps.xml

Add the following to the comps.xml file:

<code>
 <!--  <meta> -->
<!-- Meta information will go here eventually -->
<!--  </meta> -->
  <group>
    <id>PsydexSoftware</id>
    <name>pxSoftware</name>
    <default>true</default>
    <description>Default RPMS from Psydex Repo</description>
    <uservisible>true</uservisible>
    <packagelist>
      <packagereq type="default">pxNodeManager-1.0-1</packagereq>
<!--
      <packagereq type="optional">pxNodeManager-1.0-1</packagereq>
-->
    </packagelist>
  </group>
</comps>
</code>

# cd /var/www/html

# createrepo -g comps.xml psydexrepo

Now, if we want to install this group on a machine, we create a .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d like this:
 
[PsydexRepo]
name=Psydex Repository
baseurl=http://localhost/psydexrepo
gpgcheck=0

# yum groupinstall pxSoftware
