配置yum源

 

Yum reads it's configuration from one or more configuration files. The main configuration file is typically stored in /etc/yum.conf, and contains the default settings to use when retrieving and installing packages.

A sample configuration file from a CentOS 4.0 server is shown below:

 

$ cat /etc/yum.conf

[main]

cachedir=/var/cache/yum

debuglevel=2

logfile=/var/log/yum.log

pkgpolicy=newest

distroverpkg=centos-release

tolerant=1

exactarch=1

retries=20

obsoletes=1

gpgcheck=1

 

#PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN SEPARATE FILES NAMES FILE.REPO IN /ETC/YUM.REPOS.D

 

In addition to the main yum.conf configuration file which is described in the yum.conf manual page, yum will look for remote repository definitions in the directory /etc/yum.repos.d.

A sample repository definitions from a CentOS 4.0 server is included below:

[base]

name=CentOS-$releasesever - Base

mirrolist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=&releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os

#baseusr=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/so/$basearch/

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos-4

 

Each repository definition starts with a descriptive name that is enclosed in brackets. Inside each repository definition stanza is a line with a descriptive name, a flag to indicate if GPG signatures should be checked , and the locations to retrieve updates and the GPG keys that are used to sign the updates. Variables can be used in URLs, and in the example above the $releasever and $basearch variables are used to reference the Operating System release and teh file system base where updates are located.
