I downloaded all fc3 rpm update packages and put them into a folder /mnt/update/fc3update/, and used createrepo to issue ;
createrepo /mnt/update/fc3update/
The process started and finally finished and displayed;
saving primary metadata saving file lists metadata saving other metadata
( 2 folders "headers" and "repodata" are created under /mnt/update/fc3update/ )
* * Next I created a /mnt/yum.repos.d/fc3update.repo and the contents are ;
[fc3update]
name=FC3 rpm updates
baseurl=file:///mnt/update/fc3update/
enabled=0
* * In /etc/yum.conf I disabled gpgcheck from 1 to 0,
* * I started to update my fc3 with commands;
yum --disablerepo=fedora.repo --disablerepo=fedora-updates.repo --enablerepo=fc3update.repo -y
(By default the fedora.repo and fedora-update.repo both are enabled=1 and I intended to disable
them, I just wanted to use fc3update.repo)
After a while I got message "Error getting repository data for for fedora.repo, repository not
found"
Obvious the above process failed, my questions:
When I add a new repo file into /etc/yum.repos.d/, and want to selectively enable/disable a
specific xxxx.repo file, is the following a correct syntax "yum --disablerepo=file1.repo --disablerepo=file2.repo
--enablerepo=file3.repo" ? (if yes, why I failed above ?)
What have I missed ?
*********
An alternative way enables me to accomplish my goal,with same files and folders used in above and I
made some minor changes ;
fedora.repo - change the enabled=1 from 1 to 0 fedora-update.repo - change the enabled=1 from 1 to 0 /etc/yum.conf - gpgcheck changed from 1 to 0. (Any command to replace the manual change ?)
And then I issued command : yum update
(The update starts) Update: xxxxx.i386 0:6.1.-12.fc321 Update: xxxxxxxx
