Linux Local Yum Repository
Create the directories to be used:
mkdir -pv /var/www/html/centos/5/{base,updates}
Populate the base repository by copying all the rpms from the CDs/DVD.
Check if createrepo is installed:
rpm -qa | grep createrepo
If not, then:
yum -y install createrepo
Then issue the following command to create the headers:
createrepo /var/www/html/centos/5/base
To populate the updates, you may have to choose the nearest mirror to rsync. Issue to following command to sync with your chosen mirror:
rsync -avrt rsync://ftp.iij.ad.jp/centos/packages/centos/5.0/updates/i386 \ --exclude=debug/ /var/www/html/centos/5/updates
Order some pizza and buy a six pack :)
