It's trivially simple to do with 'createrepo'. You don't even need the httpd server. Someone suggested NFS and even that will work for Yum repos. (though I prefer HTTP as well).

[Puppet Users] Logging on Puppetmaster 0.25.4/Passenger-2.2.8
I just upgraded my puppetmaster from 0.25.1 to 0.25.4 using the EPEL
packages. Now, I can't see any of the logging when hosts connect to
my puppetmaster except for in the passenger/apache logs. The only
exception to this rule is when the puppetmaster connects to itself,
then I can see the normal messages in the logs. I've bounced Apache
numerous times.
I could see the logs I need before I did the upgrade in /var/log/
messages which was not ideal, but fine.
config.ru:
$:.unshift('/var/lib/puppet')
$0 = "puppetmasterd"
require 'puppet'
ARGV << "--trace"
ARGV << "--rack"
ARGV << "--logdest" << "/var/log/puppet/puppetmaster.log"
require 'puppet/application/puppetmasterd'
run Puppet::Application[:puppetmasterd].run
The puppetmaster.log seems like it is only updated in batches every
few hours and it is only really logging the hostname it compiled.
Nothing about the manifests/classes, etc.
My puppet.conf only really has:
# The Puppet log directory.
# The default value is '$vardir/log'.
logdir = /var/log/puppet
But nothing really even happens there. The masterhttp.log is always
zero length.
Any ideas how I can get my old logging back?
Cheers,
-Dave

[Puppet Users] Re: Wednesday night drinks?
Sorry I'm so late to chime in. I've been meaning to post this for a while, even though I might not be able to make it to any events. My version of: The SysAdmin/Tech Nerds tour of SF bars (yes, I'm local) 1. The Zeitgeist (Duboce and Valencia). Happens to be the best bar in San Francisco, but the connection is that legions of syadmins and coders get drunk here. Cheap pitchers, biker bar (not Harleys, Moto Guzzis), big backyard with german style outdoor biergarten (you can smoke here). I met the late, great Chuck Yerkes (SAGE gives out an award in his memory) here back around 1999 and got into a huge FreeBSD debate with him. He won, of course. 2. The 21st Amendment Brewery (2nd Street opposite South Park). Most (all?) of the bars from the old Organic days are probably gone so I just picked one of the best neighborhood bars from the area (plus, great brewery). Organic is just a few blocks away where they used to throw raves in the early 90s while Brian Behlendorf was madly hacking out the first real versions of the Apache web server (you may have heard of this piece of software). 3. Thirsty Bear Brewing (Howard between 2nd and 3rd). Pretty much, you can't come to SF for a convention and not go to the Thirsty Bear at least once. Every major convention is held at the Moscone Center (JavaOne, MacWorld, ADC, etc) and this is where all the conventioneers go to get a beer. Was also super packed with hip techies during the dot-Com boom as most dot-Coms were (are?) located South of Market.
