yum-repo-client

Aim

yum-repo-client is a command line interface for interacting with the yum-repo-server. The aim is to provide a command line wrapper for every functionality the yum-repo-server provides so you don't have to fiddle with REST requests. This is especially good for automations that can run command line tools because you can modify the yum-repo-server as you wish without breaking your automation (provided you include the modifications in the yum-repo-client).

Usage

After installation the toplevel command repoclient will be available.

Getting started

Building the yum-repo-client

First of all it is recommended to run the tests: python setup.py test

These should always be successful.

Build RPM

Optionally after that you can run: python setup.py bdist_rpm to get an rpm of the yum-repo-client.

Build DEB

To build a DEB package first install python-stdeb and then run: python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb The resulting deb package will be in the deb_dist subfolder. Please keep in mind that in most cases it is not a good idea to build RPMs on Debian as the RPM dependencies can go horribly wrong. Creating Source RPMs should be less problematic.

Installing the yum-repo-client

If you have built a rpm file in the step above, then you can install it as usual.

Without the rpm file you can install the yum-repo-client with: python setup.py install

Static configuration

To set the default host and port used by the yum-repo-client, you need to edit (or create) the file /etc/yum-repo-client.yaml. This file should contain the following entries : DEFAULT_HOST : localhost DEFAULT_PORT : 8000
