Building a YUM repo
Yum is the application installer used by RedHat. It connects to various known repos to download requested software. To create a YUM repo simply drop all your rpm files into a directory on a web server and inform the RedHat system you wish to install them on by creating a file in /etc/yum.repos.d
The file should be called something.repo and the format follows the following:
name=My YUM repo baseurl=http://10.0.0.1/redhat5/myrpms/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release |
The gpgkey entry details a file with gpg auth details for the rpms in the repo, however, this will be disabled if gpgcheck is set to '0'.
Obscure html tags
I recently looked through some HTML tags I'd never used before. The first is an abbreviation tag (<abbr>) to allow float overs for any abbreviated text. For example:
FWIW this is a poor example
the code for which looks like this:
<abbr title="For What It's Worth">FWIW</abbr> this is a poor example |
The second is a text direction tag (<bdo>) that merely indicates if the text runs left-to-right (default) or right-to-left. For example:
Hello World
This code for which is:
<bdo dir="rtl">Hello World</bdo> |
