I have a kickstart server with the files copied from the CentOS
5.5 DVD's "CentOS" directory to a "CentOS" directory on the
server, accessed by ftp during kickstart.
On a target built by this system, I did a yum update, and over
100 packages were updated.
I would like to merge the updates back to the kickstart server.
But I don't see a simple way to just throw the *.rpm files (as
grabbed from yum's cache) into some "updates" directory and the
kickstart will do the right thing and resolve dependencies and
install the latest.
I would rather the updates just get installed in the first place,
instead of having to take a second pass to do some kind of yum
update method.
Is there an elegant way?
I usually do an install into a VM from my ISO, enable the yum cache, and
then perform an update. Once that is complete, I gzip the updates and
get them back onto my build machine. This process is a little tedious,
but you copy the updates into the package folder for your ISO build and
then delete the old versions that are in there. Then just run:
rm -rf /ISO-Build-Dir/.olddata
discinfo=`head -1 /ISO-Build-Dir/.discinfo`
createrepo -u “media://$discinfo” -g repodata/comps.xml /ISO-Build-Dir
