download all packages and all rpmfusion packages

mfaridi · #1 7th February 2010, 09:47 AM

I download all packages of Fedora 12 64 bit and all rpmfusion packages , all of them free and nonfree. all of them is near 20GB, I download all of them by rsync
I download them in work,
In home I use Fedora12 64 bit and do not have internet connection , I copy all packages with USB flash and copy them to my Fedora box , and I want install VLC and other codecs and Nvidia driver for some games
What I must do ?
I said again I do not have internet connection in home but I have all packages , free and nofree and rpmfusion packages

putting all the packages in /var/cache/yum/their respective repository folder/packages and then doing yum install might work

I do not think so , Fedora is not like ubuntu

Hello mfaridi. Welcome to Fedora Forum. You can make local repositories for everything you've downloaded if I'm not mistaken. Can you tell me where the downloaded Fedora repository files are currently located?

I read that link it is good , but it is about DVD , but I have all packages with rpm format .
can I put all packages and rpmfusion packages in one folder and make ISO from this folder and use that method you say ?
Can yum work with this huge ISO ? and install everything I need from 25GB ISO file?

Hello,
Check out man yum
yum localinstall/localupdate

I have no idea if this one will work for you, but it's worth a shot. DVD vs. Flash Drive vs. External Drive shouldn't matter. Hope Scott's idea works but I think that things changed back in FC-7.

You can put the packages anywhere you want.

I'll just use /var/cache/localrepo for example you can change that to whatever you want, so just copy all your packages there then do

Code:

su -
cd /var/cache/localrepo
createrepo .
nano /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo

Make the contents of localrepo:

Code:

[local]
name=Local Repository
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=file:///var/cache/localrepo/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Save the file then do

Code:

yum clean all
yum install <something>

creatrepo should be installed by default, but if it's not then just look for it in the packages you have and install it, it shouldn't have many dependencies.

I do that everything you write , I create localrepo folder in cache and copy all package nonfree and free in localrepo folder and run

Code:

createrepo

after long time it create and I see this folder

Code:

repodate

with these files

Code:

[root@faridi repodata]# ls -ls
total 40328
20980 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 21480126 2010-02-09 05:02 filelists.xml.gz
 9616 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root  9838805 2010-02-09 05:02 other.xml.gz
 9728 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root  9953366 2010-02-09 05:02 primary.xml.gz
    4 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root     1379 2010-02-09 05:02 repomd.xml
[root@faridi repodata]#

and do other thing , but when I run this command for example

Code:

yum install mplayer

I see this error

Code:

[root@faridi repodata]# yum install mplayer
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package mplayer available.
Nothing to do
[root@faridi repodata]#

The instructions are accurate and mplayer should be in the packages you downloaded from rpmfusion-free so....

Let's see if we can figure out what went wrong.

Please post the output from

Code:

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo
yum repolist

Yes, of course. You can make another local repo for updates or do it the easy way and just copy the updates to the same folder then delete the repodata folder and run createrepo again in that folder. Afterwards just do "yum clean all" and "yum update".
