General :: Setting Up YUM Local Repository Using Apache?
Feb 17, 2011I am setting up a local YUM repository in which I will have one computer accessing the RHN network and the clients will pull the updates from that server.
I have seven linux computers that I need to have access this repo server via apache.
I called Red Hat support and this what they told me to do....
On the YUM Repo Server -
> go to /etc/httpd/conf
> copy original to something else (you name, just save the original)
>edit the httpd.conf file
> add in ServerAdmin root@10.24.79.195
[Code].....
how to configure apache -- when I was on the phone with Red Hat we went so fast that I couldn't write down everything.
Ubuntu :: Setting A Folder As Repository?
Feb 1, 2010I have recently reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 in my Compaq Notebook. I have a problem. In my Desktop, I have more than 4 GB of packages installed. As we all know, I do not need to download them again in my Laptop, and can simply add them with "sudo dpkg -i * *.deb" command. But, I do not want to install them all, and want to pick up only a few. So, is there a way, that I can set the Folder (after copying it to the Laptop) as my Repository, I mean, wheneven I seek to install a Package using Add/Remove or Synaptic or apt-get system, they are installed from the Folder instead of from the Internet? (I have all dependencies installed for each application).
View 9 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Setting Up A Git Repository On My Debian/ubuntu Server?
May 29, 2011I've worked with svn as a version control system. I like how it's possible to get context-sensitive svn commands within Eclipse via Subclipse or some other plugin. I know how to set it up both client-side and on an apache server.
Questions:
1) Does it require a centralized server and/or apache mod to host a master repository? I understand that git is distributed/decentralized but am a bit confused about what this means in practice. I did find this article describing how to host a git repository via http. Ideally, our central/master repository would be accessible via some kind of GUI git client as well as the command line.
2) Can anyone recommend a good PHP IDE / git client combination? I'm partial to Eclipse myself because it's free, i know it, and it has an eGit plug in which, although still in early development, appears to function mostly as expected.
3) Any additional comments/anecdotes/thoughts about how I might host a git repository and make it accessible only to my team of devs.

Fedora Installation :: Error Getting Repository Data For Installed, Repository Not Found
Feb 14, 2010Today I installed Fedora12 from the DVD, so this is my first contact with all of you. The last years I ran very well with gentoo, but the time for system maintenance got to big the last few times I updated the system, so I decided to change and here am I. The Problem: My system is newly installed from the DVD and I was trying to run the first update, but got the following errormassage by KPackageKit:
Code:
Error Type:
Error Value: Error getting repository data for installed, repository not found
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3125, in
main()
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 3122, in main
backend.dispatcher(sys.argv[1:])
File : /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/packagekit/backend.py, line 710, in dispatcher
self.dispatch_command(args[0], args[1:])
[Code]...
It occured after informing me about the amount of packages that need to be updated and a message about some dependencies that have to be newly installed. At the moment I'm a bit lost about what to do. Also I realy don't know which system-information would be useful - let me know and I will answer.

If I manually click on the link it will resolve in firefox so I am sure it is not my net connection per se, it seems yum or curl is adding a : to the end of the url thats why it wont resolve properly.
I have done a yum clean all , which didnt really help either. reinstalling the rpmfusion repos isnt an option either as I start getting curl errors in the terminal. I am really at a loss here and am completely out of ideas as I cant install any updates or software , at first I thought the repositories were having problems with the holidays but this has been going on for 4 days now. /var/log/messages isnt showing anything either.
