Tool to administrate linux repositories

repositorio - A tool to mirror and administrate linux repositories.

repositorio is a tool to mirror and administrate linux repositories and to tag them.

Supported Repositories

Currently repositorio is in early development stage. Right now only yum repositories are supported.

Configuration

To configure repositorio create a configuration file /etc/rex/repositorio.conf.

RepositoryRoot = /data/repositories

<Log4perl>
  config = log4perl.conf
</Log4perl>


# this will create the repository inside
# /data/repositories/head/rex-centos-6-x86-64/CentOS/6/rex/x86_64
<Repository rex-centos-6-x86-64>
  url   = http://nightly.rex.linux-files.org/CentOS/6/rex/x86_64
  local = rex-centos-6-x86-64/CentOS/6/rex/x86_64
  type  = Yum
</Repository>

You also need to create a Log4perl configuration file. You can set the location in repositorio.conf file.

log4perl.rootLogger                    = DEBUG, FileAppndr1

log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1          = Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1.filename = /var/log/repositorio.log
log4perl.appender.FileAppndr1.layout   = Log::Log4perl::Layout::SimpleLayout

Mirror a repository

To mirror a defined repository you can use the following command:

repositorio --mirror --repo=rex-centos-6-x86-64

To mirror every configured directory, you can use the all keyword.

repositorio --mirror --repo=all

To reload the metadata of a repository there is the --update-metadata option.

repositorio --mirror --repo=rex-centos-6-x86-64 --update-metadata

To reload all package files of a repository there is the --update-files option.

repositorio --mirror --repo=rex-centos-6-x86-64 --update-files

Managing a repository

If you need to create a custom repository, you can do this as well.

Just add the repository to your configuration file:

<Repository custom-centos-6-x86-64>
  local = custom-centos-6-x86-64/CentOS/6/custom/x86_64/
  type  = Yum
</Repository

Initialize the repository:

repositorio --init --repo=custom-centos-6-x86-64

Now you can add and remove files from this directory.

repositorio --add-file=my-package-1.0.rpm --repo=custom-centos-6-x86-64
repositorio --remove-file=my-package-0.9.rpm --repo=custom-centos-6-x86-64

Tagging

Every repository is per default stored in the head tag. If you want to create stable tags for your production servers, you can do this with the --tag option.

A tag is just a hardlinked copy of the head tag.

repositorio --tag=production --repo=rex-centos-6-x86-64
