Create Your Own YUM repository OEL6

The below steps helps you to create your own YUM repository in OEL6.



1) Create a directory for you local repository, e.g. 

     # mkdir -R /home/vijaypkg

2) Copy the packages from CD to this directory "/home/vijaypkg" 

3) Give proper ownership and filesystem permissions:

     # chown -R root.root /home/vijaypkg

4)  Install the createrepo package if not installed yet, and run

     # createrepo /home/vijaypkg

** if you get error while creating the repo .i.e. command not found . in that case you need to install the createrepo pkg

Once above issue is fixed now we are ready to build repository

   # createrepo /home/vijaypkg

   # chmod -R o-w+r /home/user/repo

5) Create a repository configuration file, e.g. 

    # vi /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepo.repo 

[vijay]

name=vjrep

baseurl=file:///home/vijaypkg

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

6) ready for installing pkg

   # yum install packagename
