94. How do I use the UUPEL repository?
The Uppsala University Packages for Enterprise Linux (UUPEL) is a very small public repository aimed for collecting some of the extra packages we need at BMC at Uppsala University.
This is how to activate the repository for Centos 7:
yum -y install http://it.bmc.uu.se/repo/uupel/7/x86_64/uupel-release-7-4.noarch.rpm
To use the repository you just use yum as normal:
yum -y install kmod-arcmsr btrfs-backup
Building process
Currently the build host is a server running CentOS 7 at BMC-IT. These steps are done by BMC-IT.
- Do the changes to the sources... Check out of SVN, download, edit, whatever.
emacs -nw rpmbuild/SOURCES/btrfs.backup.sh
- Update the version number of the RPM specification.
emacs -nw rpmbuild/SPECS/btrfs-backup.spec
- The last step is just a script that copies the RPMs to the repository and then build new repository index files.
rpmbuild/publish.sh
