Local Packages
Updated sendmail to address a compatibility issue with the initscript on Fedora Core 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, and older distributions
The entire repository, or sections of it, are now available using rsync:
$ rsync rsync.city-fan.org:: ftp whole ftp area yum yum repositories for all supported distributions yum-rhl9 yum repository for Red Hat Linux 9 yum-rhel3 yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 yum-rhel4 yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 yum-rhel5 yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 yum-fc1 yum repository for Fedora Core 1 yum-fc2 yum repository for Fedora Core 2 yum-fc3 yum repository for Fedora Core 3 yum-fc4 yum repository for Fedora Core 4 yum-fc5 yum repository for Fedora Core 5 yum-fc6 yum repository for Fedora Core 6 yum-f7 yum repository for Fedora 7 yum-development yum repository for Fedora Development
If you use any of the "yum*" modules, I suggest you use:
$ rsync -av --no-l --copy-links
This is because the RPM packages in the yum repo are symlinks pointing to other directories in the ftp area.
The /etc/rsyncd.conf I'm using for this on rsync.city-fan.org is like this:
uid = rsyncd gid = rsyncd use chroot = no max connections = 4 syslog facility = ftp pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid [ftp] path = /srv/ftp/pub comment = whole ftp area [yum] path = /srv/ftp/pub/contrib/yum-repo comment = yum repositories for all supported distributions [yum-rhl9] path = /srv/ftp/pub/contrib/yum-repo/rhl9 comment = yum repository for Red Hat Linux 9 [yum-rhel3] path = /srv/ftp/pub/contrib/yum-repo/rhel3 comment = yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 [yum-rhel4] path = /srv/ftp/pub/contrib/yum-repo/rhel4 comment = yum repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ... more of the same ...
