Hello, I kind of made a local repo for Fedora 10 and I am using that quite nicely for sometime. Get all the rpms ( those stored in your /var/cache/yum/) and check if any dependencies are missing. If so, get all the dependencies. You can do this by :
$yum resolvedep <package_name> Also, to avoid dependency failure, if all the Fedora Packages in the Install DVD are not installed, I copied all the RPMs in the Packages folder of the Installation DVD in the tartget RPM folder. Now you can create a repo in this way: $createrepo <location to the folder containing the RPMs> But this will not allow you to do a "groupinstall: from the repo. "yum groupinstall" can be enabled in the following way: $createrepo -g <location to comps.xml> <location to the RPM folder> comps##.xml can be found in /var/cache/yum/updates/. Now you need to create a .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/. The following is my fedora-local.repo : [fedora-local] name=Fedora 10 - i386 - Local failovermethod=priority #baseurl=ftp://laptop.org/pub/fedora/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/ #************The following line is the URL of the Repo folder************** baseurl=ftp://127.0.0.1/pub/ enabled=0 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-i386 Since I setup an ftp server, and then mounted the repo folder in /var/ftp/pub/ ( $mount --bind <location of repo> /var/ftp/pub/), I used my LO IP 127.0.0.1. To install from the offline repo, you can always do $yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fedora-local <package name> I hope this will be of help.
