[Server-devel] status of the xs repositories

[Holger Levsen]

Hi,

http://fedora.laptop.org/olpc-local/i386/ contains the rpm repository for the 
XS machines.

To update the repo:

1. throw rpms into /srv/library/mirror/olpc-local/(i386|source/SRPMS) on 
xs-dev

2. run as user with write permissions: 

createrepo /srv/library/mirror/olpc-local/i386 
createrepo /srv/library/mirror/olpc-local/src/
repoview /srv/library/mirror/olpc-local/i386 
repoview /srv/library/mirror/olpc-local/src/

Open questions to me:

1. IMO it should be renamed from olpc-local to xs-local or something. 

2. should this be a development repo and the real one be move to 
dev.laptop.org

3. The createrepo/viewrepo commands should IMO be run every 30min by cron, do 
you agree? Or have you done so already? :)


For now I copied the above information to 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holger/xs-repo

And while thinking were to move that wiki page, I found 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Software_Repositories and noticed there are two 
more repositories for the XS: http://fedora.laptop.org/xs/(stable|
testing)/olpc - which is used to build the liveCDs from 
http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/ ? 


regards,
	Holger
