A simple appliance that illustrates the appliance images and recipes from my OLS presentation (pdf)
yum-arch which has been deprecated for a while was
finally taken out back to ... greener pastures. Much as it deserves
that, it turns out I still need it occasionally. Here is a badly cobbled-together version that
seems to work with yum 3.0.X.
A detailed example of using Puppet and how the way it modularizes configurations can be used for sharing 'system recipes'
My yum repository contains a few RPM packages, mostly around ruby for Fedora and RHEL. The yum config has entries for the different flavors — just enable the appropriate one. Or, even better, if you use Puppet, you can use the class describing the repo into your site manifest and sublcass to enable the appropriate one.
The RPM's in the old repo at http://people.redhat.com/dlutter/yum/RPMS are no longer maintained, you need to use the new repos.
The packages in these repos are completely unsupported and of dubious quality. Use at your own risk; these packages may destroy systems and terrorize your firstborn. There is absolutely no formal Red Hat support for these packages. They are for testing/evaluation purposes only. Enjoy.
A simple tool to help with the conversion of Ruby Gems to RPM spec files. Gem2spec has been renamed to gem2rpm and is now on rubyforge.
