Armed with a few RPMs I need to install on multiple machines and sick of SCP’ing files around machines I decided to set up a Yum repository. Here’s how:
On a machine that already has Apache running and serving content:
yum install createrepo
cd /var/www/html/centos/5/qub/x86_64
createrepo /var/www/html/centos/5/qub/x86_64
Then on each client machine aiming to use this Yum repository:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
vi myorg.repo
[myorg]
name=Centos-$releasever – MyOrg
baseurl=http://monitor.qub.ac.uk/centos/5/myorg/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
