Each time you update the directory you would do a createrepo in that directoy. Then you could distribute a yum config file for the repositories using the mirrors already in place. Fedora does it but I don't know the details. This is the default fedora yum update config file: $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo [updates] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Updates #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-fc$releasever&arch=$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora I mantain my own mirror of the Fedora repositories which are updated at night. This is the script I use to sync it: # cat rsync-yum-repo.sh rsync -q -a --exclude=debug --exclude=repodata rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/core/updates/5/i386/ /html/yum/5/i386/updates rsync -q -a --exclude=debug --exclude=repodata rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/extras/5/i386/ /html/yum/5/i386/extras rsync -q -a --exclude=debug --exclude=repodata rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ /html/yum/5/i386/os createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/updates/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/updates createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/extras/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/extras createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/os/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/os Then my yum config files point to the local repository in instead of to the mirrors. I use yum just to install the packages not to download.

1- Create a directory like /usr/share/yum-custom.

2- Download the packages to that directory.

3- cd to that directory and:
# createrepo .

4- Create the repository config file:
# touch /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-custom.repo

5- copy this to that file:
[custom]
name=Fedora Custom $releasever – $basearch
baseurl=file:///usr/share/yum-custom/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Finally:
# yum install postgresql*

I think it would be much easier for everybody if postgresql had its
own set of repositories. Each time you update the directory you would
do a createrepo in that directoy. Then you could distribute a yum
config file for the repositories using the mirrors already in place.
Fedora does it but I don’t know the details. This is the default
fedora yum update config file:

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
[updates]
name=Fedora Core $releasever – $basearch – Updates
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-fc$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora

I mantain my own mirror of the Fedora repositories which are updated
at night. This is the script I use to sync it:

# cat rsync-yum-repo.sh
rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/core/updates/5/i386/
/html/yum/5/i386/updates
rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/extras/5/i386/
/html/yum/5/i386/extras
rsync -q -a –exclude=debug –exclude=repodata
rsync://fedora.server4you.net/fedora/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
/html/yum/5/i386/os
createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/updates/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/updates
createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/extras/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/extras
createrepo -q -c /html/yum/5/i386/os/checksum /html/yum/5/i386/os

Then my yum config files point to the local repository in instead of
to the mirrors.
