Hi Steve and Bond, Thanks for the quick replies.
I have configured a number of local repositories already, and they are working fine. However, the Dell OMSA one is different, due to the fiddly bits around figuring out which branch of the tree to check out from. If I just point a client server to my copy of the dell repo using: baseurl=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/dell/hardware/latest it does calculate the deps correctly when I try to install srvadmin-all. However, it cannot find the packages to dowload, as the folder structure under that is actually a bunch of repos. If I just change mirrorlist=http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/mirrors.cgi?osname=el$releasever&basearch=$basearch&native=1&dellsysidpluginver=$dellsysidpluginver to have the IP of my repo server, I get the following yum error: > YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. > Eg. traceback.print_exc()/ > removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: > /var/cache/yum/dell-omsa-indep/mirrorlist.txt > Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: dell-omsa-indep I may just end up forgoing mirroring this repo. It is cool enough that Dell provides this repo. Thanks Dell.
