Creating monthy snapshot of repositories #1

Open vishalspatil opened 9 years ago

vishalspatil commented 9 years ago

First of all Happy New Year, I have started using dtmrepo to sync rhel 7 channel from RHN.

the requirement now is to freeze a snapshot of repository synced from RHN every month with a date.

So that it can be used to maintain a patch baseline for updating packages on all severs for a single customer. [All Servers of a customer should be on same patch level]

Do you have any kind of script readily available to achieve this.

I have created a separate script that performs a "cheap copy" of a repo. It basically creates hard links so save space and at the same time preserve older packages that dtmrepo might throw away when newer packages are downloaded. I'll upload the script tomorrow.

Cheers,

Demo

Have a look at the clone script. To create a snapshot of your repo simply do clone myrepo myrepo-clone

That will create a "snapshot" cheap copy of myrepo. You can then serve myrepo-clone to your clients.

Thanks you again , I will check.

Hi dtmateo,

Hope you are doing good, I just came across one problem for on my repo server[using dtmrepo]

when we sync from RHSM the repodata folder is created outside the os,optional and supplementary repo.

[root@dtmrepo rhel7s-x86_64]# ls optional os supplementary

[root@dtmrepo optional]# ls repodata rhel-7-server-optional-rpms

[root@dtmrepo os]# ls repodata rhel-7-server-rpms

so when we provide the baseurl in repo file it is unable to find repod.xml

http://dtmrepo.xyz.com/dtmrepo/rhel7s-x86_64/supplementary/rhel-7-server-supplementary-rpms/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found

can you let us know where can we tune this parameter in dtmrepo script so that repodata folder is created inside the os,optional and supplemenatry repo folder.

Thanks in advance.

Is it able to generate the repo data? Have a look inside repodata and make sure the files are there. Repodata creation may fail if you have broken RPMS. Also make sure that you have the correct SELinux context otherwise do

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /path/to/your/repo
