offline repository

[seyd-ali]

hello
how i can download all repositories without install a program with yum

[glennzo]

One method would be to use reposync. This will download all files from a specific repository to the local hard disk.

reposync --repoid=fedora --download_path=/<wherever_you_want_the_files_saved>

You would then do the same for the other repositories. These downloads will take an extremely long time in most cases.

hello
how i can creat an offline repository and install packages that are downloaded by (yum install) in cache directory on another computer,without connecting to internet

You use reposync to get the files and then manually create a local repository. Which repository do you want to "localize"?

Have a look here

You'd need a file /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo with something like

[local_repo]
name=local_repo
baseurl=hostname/path/to/your/repo
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

fedora and rpm fusion

[glennzo]

PHP Code:

reposync --repoid=fedora --download_path=/path/of/your/choice
reposync --repoid=rpmfusion-free --download_path=/path/of/your/choice
reposync --repoid=rpmfusion-nonfree --download_path=/path/of/your/choice 


This will take a while. The Fedora repository is fairly large. Once the downloads are complete you'll need to run createrepo against each and then actually create a yum repo file for them.

This also assumes that you have the rpmfusion repositories installed on your system.

OK. I've done this for the rpmfusion-nonfree repo. I started in a folder /temp in my home path, so it's /home/glenn/temp. I issued

PHP Code:

reposync --repoid=rpmfusion-nonfree --download_path=/home/glenn/temp 


This downloaded 176 files and saved them in /home/glenn/temp/rpmfusion-nonfree. Now I'll run createrepo. You will need to make sure that createrepo is installed on your system. If it isn't then install it with

PHP Code:

su -c 'yum install createrepo' 


Now you can run the command createrepo.

PHP Code:

[glenn@phenom14 temp]$ createrepo rpmfusion-nonfree
176/176 - larabie-uncommon-fonts-0-0.5.20011216.fc11.noarch.rpm                 
Saving Primary metadata
Saving file lists metadata
Saving other metadata 


Now create a .repo file in the folder /etc/yum.repos.d. Here's my test file.

PHP Code:

[rpmf-nonfree]
Name=RPMFusion Non-Free Local Repository
baseurl=file:///home/glenn/temp/rpmfusion-nonfree/ 


Very basic but it works. Here's yum repolist on my system now.

So it works. You can do the same for the others.
