Createrepro?

[gezza]

Hi to all,
Since I am still trying to backup my workstation (11GB) with mylivecd and failing. I would like someone with more info in their heads than I have, to explain how  you use 'createrepro to backup the locally stored rpms that have been downloaded, to create a local repository, so that I can reinstall form it. (and how would I do that?)
In other words, how do I use 'createrepro'?

gezza,
I believe you'll find a post on creating your own repo in the Advanced Users Section.

I always use the mkrepo script contained in pkgutils to make my local repo.

Code: [Select]

mkrepo -p is the script. You'll find info on that in the Packagers Section.

There is also this:

Also, use the forum search function to search for creating a local repo.

I know nothing of createrepo, except that, if memory serves, it will not do what you seem to think it will.
