[Mageia-sysadm] Installing and using mgarepo on 2010.1

Thu Jan 6 18:05:06 CET 2011

Hello,
+
+mgarepo is the new name for repsys on Mageia. On Mandriva 2010.1 you can
+install it using the following repository :
+http://repository.mageia.org/mageiatools/2010.1/i586/core/release/
+  or
+http://repository.mageia.org/mageiatools/2010.1/x86_64/core/release/
+
+To install :
+# urpmi.addmedia mageiatools http://repository.mageia.org/mageiatools/2010.1/i586/core/release/
+# urpmi mgarepo
+
+The command to use is still repsys (for now, maybe it will change later).
+
+To import a new package :
+$ repsys import package.src.rpm
+
+The text files and tarballs are now split between two repositories.
+- The spec files and text files are located in :
+  svn+ssh://svn.mageia.org/svn/packages/cauldron
+- The binary files are in :
+  svn+ssh://svn.mageia.org/svn/binrepos/cauldron
+
+Using the command "repsys co" it will checkout files from both
+repositories, and add symlinks between SOURCES and SOURCES-bin files :
+$ repsys co packagename
+
+When you need to add a new binary file, put it in the SOURCES directory
+and use the upload command to upload it to the binary repository :
+$ cd SOURCES
+$ wget http://frites.com/file.tar.bz2
+$ repsys upload file.tar.bz2
+
+Delete is not working at the moment, but when it is fixed, you should be
+able to use the "repsys del" command.
+
+mdvsys is not supported on Mageia at the moment.
