Hi,
I have unpacked my RHEL5 .isos onto and NFS mounted directory so
that I can do NFS installs and NFS installs are working fine.
I wanted to use the same install tree as a Yum repository because I
don't want to use twice the disk space. I set up my web server, created
a .repo file for my (as yet) non-RHN-registered RHEL5 client. I did NOT
run createrepo on the 4 paths (Server, VT, Cluster, ClusterStorage) as
there were already repodata directories and data there.
I confirmed that I could use yum to list to my heart's content and the
Yum repo worked fine from that perspective. However, when I tried to
install from one of those repos, I would get an error like the
following:
media://1170972069.396645%233/zsh-html-4.2.6-1.i386.rpm: [Errno 4]
IOError: <urlopen error unknown url type: media>
So, I assumed that I needed to run the createrepo command, but also
assumed it might break my NFS installs to do so. I backed up the
repodata directories in my install tree and ran the createrepo. Sure
enough, my kickstart barfs with a python stack-trace complaining about
no available groups.
I then put the backup repodata back into place and the kickstarts are
working again...
So, is there any way to configure the repodata so that it will work with
either NFS installs AND as a Yum repository? I don't want to manage 2
copies of the same data if I can avoid it.
Thanks,
Kevin
