Topic: Adding yum repositories

[duncan]

Hi - Can anyone suggest the correct way of adding a yum repository to SME-7.

I can do it via a custom template - however Im thinking there may be a command line method.

I can remember reading something about this at the dungog.net site.  Might help

Cheers - However I sussed it out.


Example

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories set dag repository BaseURL http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag EnableGroups 1 GPGCheck 1 Name Dag_repository status enabled

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/yum.conf

1st bit all on one line.

You might want to have the status disabled for that, to avoing getting updates you didn't intend to from a regular update.  You can still do:
yum --enablerepo=Dag_repository check-update
or
yum --enablerepo=Dag_repository install xxx
...from the command line

A good point Greg.


So using my example.

Code: [Select]

db yum_repositories set dag repository BaseURL http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag EnableGroups 1 GPGCheck 1 Name Dag_repository status disabled

rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/yum.conf


We also needed to add the gpgkey.
