This is probably a worthwhile endeavor if you have three or more machines to keep updated. There are a number of these floating around. I have tried to update and simplify the process.
Let me know what you think. http://www.TQMcube.com/repo.htm
Very good! However, why the need to copy all the CD/DVD onto the HD? Why not grab the files from Red Hat or a mirror? Have I missed something?
That would work equally well but David is assuming (rightly) that most people will already have the CD/DVD (or at least the ISOs, which are equivalent) from which they've done the OS install, so why download everything again?
Sorry Paul!
I meant the files createrepo /var/www/html/yum/base created. From the repo.htm this is what I assumed was the purpose of copying the files from the CD/DVD. Hence, have I missed something? While Red Hat 6.2 was supported, I just ftp'd the updates into a directory "updates". Incidentally, I have two boxes, one an Intel and the other an Alpha.
