This page details how to create a yum compliant repo. This is our in house repo for packages that we have had to compile from source.


The repo will be hosted on guava BUT will be exported via NFS to compbio where it will serve the clients.


ON GUAVA

  • Install the required software
yum install createrepo
  • Edit fstab for the exports (assumes /other/repo exists)
    • This maps /other/repo to /nfs4exports/repo
vi /etc/fstab
# ADDED FOR REPO
/other/repo             /nfs4exports/repo       none    bind            0 0
  • Re-load fstab
  • Edit /etc/exports to define the export
  • Restart NFS

ON COMPBIO

  • edit /etc/fstab
  • reload the mount points
  • hope this works!!!
