CentOS 5 :: Creating Local CentOS 5.4 Repository For Internal Upgrades Only?
Apr 16, 2010
I am installing a cluster which is hidden from the rest of the world and there is no router either froma general login node. I would therefore require a local repository of the updates to CentOS5.4. When I checked I only found instructions for a full mirror. As I have no room and neither the human resources to setup and maintain a full-blown mirror, this is not a solution. However if I try to find updates for 5.4 to download in a repository-type of way I fail to find a solution. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places.

Recently i was able to setup a server which can work as a local yum repocitory in my envornment.However when i tried to update the packages in my repocitory using rsync from mirrors.kernel.org its giving a timeout error. The error i am getting is "rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(107) [receiver=2.6.8]" I am having repocitory for centos 4.4 and 5.2(both 32 and 64 bit versions)

Wondering if the internal network will benefit of connecting to a local DNS server, rather than my ISP dns server. Can I create this local DNS server, without having an external domain, pointing to my server ?
All I want is faster lookup of known hostnames, both internally (hostnames) and externaly (cnn.com etc..)

I freshly installed debian lenny using the 5 DVD set that I downloaded from debian.org. I want to create a local repository for all packages that are available in DVD so that I do not insert the disc everytime I install a new software. I have searched various forums but not able to figure the right way to do it.

I am looking to create a user to be able to do WinSCP or SSH into the system and only be able to see /var/www/html/joomla/ and that is it. I don't want them to be able to start or stop service but be able to upload and download files to the specific directory or change privileges of the mentioned directory. Is that possible? what commands should I run.

I am preparing an installation for a network with small subnetworks across the country.As such, I am setting up a central repository, but would like the installation of some machines to turn themselves into mirrors at installation time (at least for their own rpms) to save bandwidth for the rest of the machines in their own sub network.Is it somehow possible to set up a local mirror at installation time?I was watching how anaconda is installing from a repository and saw that it erases each downloaded rpm as soon as it is installed, but thought maybe someone here would have an idea.

I'm currently using Centos 5.4 but I wanted to avoid this upgrade but it seems impossible.
Is there a particular block /ignore list so that yum doesn't upgrade the system in future?

I want to add a new external Repository and its GPG key from terminal (in one cmd). How do I do that in centOS? In Ubuntu there is a command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:foobar/ppa
What is the corresponding command in CentOS? How can I view the list of currently known Repositories of the local CentOS installation?

I don't want to disable it... I want to completely remove it, so it doesn't sneak back later. I don't see a yum --removerepo and Googling leads to instructions to disable.

I am going through creating a document on how to install Zoneminder on CentOS.So I decided I would do a new build and capture the output, dump it to a file, then post it.However, seems like sometime over the past 10 days or so when I did it last, one of the repos I use to download other software is now gone.I use this as an additional repository:Except, now it is not there anymore. Does anyone know its whereabouts? :)Some of the things I have downloaded from there which dont seem to be in the yum repos are: git, ffmpeg, htop

I'd like to have anything that tries to send mail locally on my machine (including crontab reports for instance) to be handled by my ISP's smtp server instead of my machine acting like it's own SMTP server. I've spent around 15 hours trying to figure out how to do this and I keep either getting into things that I don't understand, or hitting brick walls (for instance, I found nullmailer, but after installing it, it seemed like it would only work on Unix) Is there an application like nullmailer which I can use as my MTA to forward all internal mail to a different SMTP?

I saw in CentOs Documentation that the only Tomcat package available in CentOs 5 was Tomcat 5, I would like to know why CentOs 5 didn't support Tomcat 6. And what's more I would like to know whether last version of Tomcat (6.0.18) can be installed on CentOs 5, and if we can trust installation tutorial we can read on centOs How 2 page? And in addition, could you tell me why Tomcat 6 isn't provided in CentOs Yum repository ... Is there a no working reason?

Yum answers that it does not contain lighttpd or lua in the repositories (base,updates,addons,extra). Where can I find a repository containing these packages or should I revert to building myself ?

I'm making my own yum repository - firstly so that all the machines I administer can be updatedvia the internal network, secondly so that I can test any updates on a spare machine before passing them on, and thirdly so that I can add my own repo for internal software.
I've created the necessary folders under my webserver, and used rsync to update them from my local CentOS mirror, following the instructions at [URL]
I notice it says to run "createrepo" on the base repository, created by copying the rpms from release DVD.
When I rsynced the updates repo, but I notice that the files in repodata are very small. In fact, having a look inside them, filelists.xml contains no file details. But if I run createrepo in the updates directory, filelists.xml gets lots of file details inside it.
I wondered if maybe the local mirror hadn't been updated properly, but checking against mirror.centos.org shows that has the same files.
how does the (real, live, CentOS) updates repo work when there is nothing in the filelists?
