Description

===========

This is a very simple template of a yum repository.  It is the structure that I

use for maintaining a local repo of RPMs for RHEL/Centos 4/5/6.

USAGE

=====

There is a trivial makefile at the top level of the tree that will run the

[createrepo](http://createrepo.baseurl.org/) utility on the 2nd level of

directories in the tree and create/update a non-GPG signed yum repository.  The

tree structure should be as follows:

    .

    |-- 4

    |   |-- i386

    |   `-- x86_64

    |-- 5

    |   |-- i386

    |   `-- x86_64

    `-- 6

        |-- i386

        `-- x86_64

The `createrepo` command will be run on (4|5|6)(i386|x86_64) but not the first

level dirs (4|5|6).  After `createrepo` finishes running, you should have one usage repo for each major release number and architeture.

    .

    |-- 4

    |   |-- i386

    |   |   `--repodata

    |   `-- x86_64

    |       `--repodata

    |-- 5

    |   |-- i386

    |   |   `--repodata

    |   `-- x86_64

    |   |   `--repodata

    `-- 6

        |-- i386

        |   `--repodata

        `-- x86_64

            `--repodata

To create/modify the working repos just run after adding/removing RPMs from the appropriate $releasever/$basearch and your yum repo is ready for use.

    # copy rpm(s) to some arch dir like 5/x86_64	

    makefile

Adding a different arch just recreates creating a directory in the correct

place.  For example, to add RHEL5 PPC support:

    mkdir 5/ppc64

    # copy some .rpms --> 5/ppc

    makefile

PUPPET EXAMPLE

==============

Here is a simple example of a puppet class that will setup the repo with the

Yumrepo type.  It should work for RHEL/Centos 3/4/5/6 and beyond.

    class yum-local {

      case $operatingsystem {

        'redhat', 'centos': {

          yumrepo { 'local':

            descr => 'my local repo',

            baseurl => 'http://example.org/nso/$releasever/$basearch',

            enabled => 1,

            gpgcheck => 0,

            priority => 1,

          }

        }

      }

    }
