Configuring Repositories for a Yum based platform
Submitted by prajwal, updated on 16 Sep 2008 - 2 comments
Moblin Image Creator provides an easy and flexible way to configure repositories of a Yum based platform.
Configuring target repositories
To configure the repositories of a target, choose a target and click on the 'Edit Repository' button in the target section.
To edit an existing repository, choose a repository from the 'Repository List'. Make the modification and save.
The 'enabled' field can be used to enable/disable a repository. Setting the 'enabled' field to '0' will disable the repository and setting it to '1' will enable it.
The 'failovermethod' can be set to either 'priority' or 'roundrobin'. 'roundrobin' randomly selects a URL out of the list of URL's to start with and proceeds through each of them as it encounters a failure contacting the host. 'priority' starts from the first baseurl listed and reads through them sequentially.
To add a repository, click on the add button, provide a name for the repository. This creates an empty repository file. Fill in all the information for the new repository and save.
To remove a repository, choose a repository and click on the remove button.
Note: The changes made to the repositories will affect only the selected target.
Configuring platform repositories
To configure the repository for a given platform, click on the 'Tools' menu and then click on the 'Edit Repo'. Choose the platform you wish to edit. This will bring up the edit repo dialog. You can choose to edit an existing repository or add/remove repositories. The changes made here will affect all the projects/targets created after the changes are made. It does not affect existing projects/targets.
