I have a Red Hat 5 system installed from a Official DVD.
At times, I need to install packages from the DVD at a later stage. Whenever I need to do that, I have install RPMs one at a time through a painful process of dependency resolution.
Question:
How does one configure YUM so that i can conveniently install packages from the DVD.
Notes:
- there is createrepo but I can't get group information for multiple folder along with it, say, for group installing
Development Tools
- online CentOS repositories are no good as our corporate proxy blocks access to some essential files fetched during an update.
thanks... like i mentioned in the question... this method leaves out group information for multiple repositories in the same DVD... look at the notes... – user1055604 – 2012-04-29T11:53:15.580
thanks again... the posted link explains how to add additional RPMs to a install DVD / ISO to make them available during an install... the mention of
comps.xml
is for adding the RPMs (to be added to the ISO) to a new group which can be checked off during installation... interesting, but it doesn't answer my question... – user1055604 – 2012-05-01T15:58:11.667
