How To Create your Yum Repository in RHEL5

Hi All,

Here I want to explain the step by step process to create a yum repository in RHEL 5 Server....

mount /dev/hdb /mnt

(/dev/hdb is my dvd drive)

cd /mnt/RHEL5.../Server

rpm -ivh createrepo*

mkdir /var/redhat.repo

Now we are copying the RHEL 5 DVD to /var/server.repo...the reason why we named the folder with extenstion .repo is it will works perfectly...while yum tries to check the packages.

cp -rv /mnt/Rhel5../* /var/redhat.repo

Now we need to edit the configuration file of yum

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/rheldebuginfo.repo

add the following two lines in the file..

baseurl=file:///var/redhat.repo
enabled=1

(Note: before editing any configuration files..it is recommended to take the backup of that particular configuration file...)

createrepo /var/redhat.repo

yum clean all

yum list

That is it now we have created the yum repository...it is just a simple process...
