Why not just make the RPMs easily available? #43

Closed RobinAllen closed 9 years ago

RobinAllen commented 9 years ago

I have to install the 'repository' into Yum, using an RPM, and THEN I can use Yum with that repository definition to go back over the Interwebs to download the actual RPMs.

But what if my server is in a closed, locked down environment? It's not going to have permission to be able to reach out to a repository on the public Interwebs to pull those RPMs down on 80 or 443.

Any other piece of software I'd just pull the few RPMs I need, and deploy them how I see fit. Copy them onto the closed server which needs them, and deploy them manually, or push them with a remote deployment tool.

OK, so I can play with the manual installation method instead, but really why can't I just have directory listings open on the repository, and none of this amazon signature nonsense, and just download the RPMs?

As documented in our OS package docs you can use https://packages.graylog2.org/ to browse and download the RPM packages manually.

I hope that helps.
