[17:02.56] mbuf, I just went through the list of projects [17:03.10] you can go through the following presentation before coming to IRC on Saturday: http://shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/presentations/i-want-2-do-project-tell-me-wat-2-do-fedora.pdf [17:03.31] mbuf, about Fedora complete repository setup (offline) [17:03.50] mbuf, what we are expected to do in that [17:03.50] and I don't want anyone staying late in browsing centers to attend the IRC session; you can check the archives during the day; [17:04.36] rtnpro: i just put some ideas there; maybe some of the solutions already exist (that I am unaware of); I need to be able to take complete Fedora repo and deploy in a school/college that does not have Internet connection [17:04.52] mbuf, I am already maintaining an offline Fedora 10 i386 repo in my HDD [17:05.11] rtnpro: maybe from a USB hard-disk; and what is the size of the repo? how do you deploy it? [17:05.37] ! [17:05.50] mbuf, its close to 25 GB, and I run it via an FTP server [17:05.54] ! [17:06.03] aveek: if you want to add something to this discussion, you can comment, but, if you have a new question, then wait; [17:06.21] ok [17:06.29] rtnpro: have you tried it on a LAN where new installations can use it as a repo? [17:06.47] mbuf, yes [17:06.48] in my college i am also deploying it after reaching on 5th [17:07.03] mbuf, i tried , i did that thing in my college [17:07.08] rtnpro: aveek good; do you have an online HOWTO or some document on it? [17:07.14] zer0c00l: cool [17:07.35] mbuf, I blogged about it once [17:07.37] pardon? document that it is to be put up? [17:07.57] aveek: document or HOWTO on how to deploy it and use it; [17:08.09] no [17:08.22] I think I need to add a column that states "Status" in the list of tasks; [17:08.38] aveek: always when you complete a task, one should immediately write a quick document and upload it or blog it; [17:08.42] mbuf, I made some changes from the traditional repo style [17:08.58] rtnpro: please e-mail the same HOWTO to dgplug for review; [17:08.59] *** priti (n=priti@support.deeproot.co.in) Quit ("Leaving") [17:09.09] mbuf, ok [17:09.11] rtnpro: thanks! [17:09.15] aveek: you had a question? [17:09.22] i am yet to deploy it..just received a HDD from Rangeen some 15 days back [17:09.31] no ..this itself [17:09.45] aveek: ok, good; I will bring my HDD when I come to Agartala and make a copy in my USB HDD; [17:09.58] parthachowdhury: you had a question? [17:10.37] *** Kkhushi (n=khushbu@59.180.143.180) Quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) [17:11.05] i just wanted to say [17:11.21] it can be done with createrepo and kickstart [17:11.42] for a fedora repo with updates [17:11.56] parthachowdhury: I don't want to create one; if someone has a complete repo snapshot, I just want to copy it and deploy it; [17:12.34] parthachowdhury: not everyone is in broadband, and so, we need to be able to share the complete repos in external disks; [17:12.56] then a machine can be setup as a file server with cron to rsync [17:12.59] updates can be obtained as servicepacks [17:13.16] parthachowdhury: think of a repo that is not connected to the Internet [17:14.12] parthachowdhury: people have large HDDs, so storing is not a problem; [17:14.16] then one has to manually add a repo file and loopmount it [17:14.25] mbuf, the offline repo can be updated on a regular basis [17:14.33] might be weekly [17:14.34] parthachowdhury: rtnpro ok [17:14.50] we will discuss this later; [17:14.53] mbuf, editing baseurl in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo [17:14.54] any other questions?
