mount -o loop /var/rhel5.iso /var/repo
cd /var/repo
createrepo .
and then ran createrepo on it. But would get the following error:
Directory must be writable.
To resolve that create a soft link
mkdir /var/repo/Server --> This is the path where I will dump my all RPM's from Server directory
ln -s /var/repo/Server/ /var/repo/Server
createrepo /var/repo/Server
Now......... Add following to the file
cat /etc/yum.repos.d/iso.repo
[My ISO Repository]
name=test
baseurl=file:///var/repo/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Now... Lets test:
[root@smtreeprd02 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i telnet
telnet-0.17-38.el5
[root@smtreeprd02 ~]# yum remove telnet-0.17-38.el5
