How do I confirm my yum repository was created?
583181Feb 26 2009 — edited Mar 5 2009I am trying to determine if yum can see the repository I have created. I have done the following:
copied all rpm files from Oracle Enterprise Linux ISO images I downloaded to a directory I named RPMS
[root@localhost repo]# ls
disc1 disc2 disc3 disc4 disc5 RPMS
I have 2307 rpm files now in this dir:
[root@localhost repo]# cd RPMS
[root@localhost RPMS]# ls -l |grep rpm |wc -l
2307
I then copied the xml files from the ISO images to the RPMS directory:
[root@localhost RPMS]# ls -l |grep xml |wc -l
36
I then cd to the RPMS directory and issue the following command:
[root@localhost RPMS]# createrepo -g comps-rhel5-server-core.xml .
2307/2307 - aspell-pl-0.51-5.2.2.i386.rpm m
Saving Primary metadata
Saving file lists metadata
Saving other metadata
But then when I try to list out the repository, it's not there:
[root@localhost RPMS]# yum repolist
Loading "security" plugin
Shouldn't I see the RPMS repository listed?
