Kirby brings up a good point. If people are serious about maintaining
Whitebox on their own networks, there ought to be some instructions
regarding the creation and maintenance of a local yum repository. I have
been meaning to do this for quite some time. But, I do not want to
reinvent the wheel.=20
Has anyone run across some simple documentation for setting up a local
yum repository? Anyone willing to share this? If not, I'd be happy to
create something fast in XML format and then publish in to HTML using
DocBook. Or, if someone already has some instructions, send them my way
and I'll publish it for everyone in HTML format.
Thanks.
KJ
