How to create your own repository in PCLinuxOS
1. Create own place for repository.
For example i created repository folder in home folder
2. Create folder which will contained ... .rpm files, folder must have a a prefix " RPMS. "
For example inside repository folder I created folder RPMS.32bit.
3. Put rpm files inside RPMS.folder_name .
My example loks like this:
home └── user └── repository ├── RPMS.32bit ├── libopenssl_1.0.0-arch32-1.0.2g-1pclos2016.i586.rpm ├── libopenssl-arch32-devel-1.0.2g-1pclos2016.i586.rpm └── openssl-arch32-1.0.2g-1pclos2016.i586.rpm
4. Open terminal / konsole and copy and paste this line, then edit path to your repository and click Enter
genbasedir --flat --bloat --progress /home/your_name_user/repository 32bit
Should look something like this: $ genbasedir --flat --bloat --progress /home/user/repository 32bit Components: 32bit Processing pkglists... 32bit 0003/0003 [done] Processing srclists... [done] Updating component releases... 32bit [done] Creating global release file... [done] Appending MD5Sum... 32bit All your base are belong to us!!! [done]
directory structure inside repository folder looks now this
$ tree . ├── base │ ├── pkglist.32bit │ ├── pkglist.32bit.bz2 │ ├── release │ └── release.32bit └── RPMS.32bit ├── libopenssl_1.0.0-arch32-1.0.2g-1pclos2016.i586.rpm ├── libopenssl-arch32-devel-1.0.2g-1pclos2016.i586.rpm └── openssl-arch32-1.0.2g-1pclos2016.i586.rpm ______________________ 2 directories, 7 files
Now you have ready repository ! :D
TIP: More option for genbasedir you can find with command
genbasedir --help
TIP: For .src.rpm files you can create folder with prefix SRPMS. , for examle: SRPMS.32bit
How add repository to Synaptic ?
1. Open Synaptic
2. Click: Settings --> Repositories
3. At the bottom, click New
4. Fill in empty fields.
For example I completed like this:
URI: file:/home/user/ Distribution: repository Section(s): 32bit
TIP:
If you trying add local repository on hard drive, path should begin like file:/home/user/
If you have repository on the web, path should begin like http:/ /server/path
5 Click OK (the window closes and the changes should be saved). You can check the active list, click: Settings --> Repositories (in Synaptic)
6. In the upper left corner inside Synaptic, you have the icon Refresh, click it to refresh and load new repositories.
7. Ready ! :D
How refresh own repository ?
If you want add or remove .rpm files from repository, You need refresh database.
1. You use the command as before, for example:
genbasedir --flat --bloat --progress /home/your_name_user/repository 32bit
2. Ready, your repository database is refreshed, now close Synaptic if you have open, then you can open Synaptic again, click Refresh icon and use.
TIPS:
1. If you want refresh repository one command ...
- create a script in /usr/local/bin/ with name uprep
#!/bin/bash if $EUID -ne 0 ; then echo " Warning: This script must be run as root! " echo " Try again as root, the end. " fi apt-get clean; genbasedir --flat --bloat --progress /home/user/repository 32bit ; apt-get update
- change path and section name if you have other,
- give script execution rights
- and ready, run command from terminal to check: /usr/local/bin/uprep or just uprep
