SL Users,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to successfully
mirror the Scientific Linux source repo? I.e. for
things like "yumdownloader --source" to work?
Here's what I have in the .repo file for the source,
after distro installation:
baseurl=http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
http://ftp1.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
http://ftp2.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$releasever/SRPMS/
but if we look we see:
lftp ftp.scientificlinux.org:/linux/scientific/6.1/SRPMS> dir
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 2048 Nov 17 20:52 repodata
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 2048 Jul 26 16:52 repos
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 10240 Oct 12 22:05 sl6-added
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 10240 Jul 28 16:19 sl6-changed
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 432128 Nov 17 20:51 vendor
problem with this is that it's in three separate dirs the
src.rpm files are not where expected, and thus I get
metadata for it ('repodata/*.xml' are in correct location)
when I mirror using 'reposync', but there's no actual
packages because they aren't where they're supposed to be.
This problem doesn't seem to affect the binary repositories.
I am mirroring those without problems.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I can't speak to the reposync issue, but I can recommend rsync for
mirroring the source repo (
http://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/mirror.rsync ).
As for yumdownloader --source , that seems to be working for me
$ yumdownloader --source gdm
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Enabling sl-source repository
gdm-2.30.4-21.el6_0.1.src.rpm | 2.7 MB 00:00
The repodata files know that they various RPMS are in sub directories
and reference them accordingly.
