My understanding was that a local repository would only be for use by
the local machine, so I don't really see why you'd want a local RHEL4
yum repository on a RHEL5 machine?

Have you looked at mrepo (http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/mrepo/)? You
can add custom/additional packages to an mrepo repository and make them
available to other machines via yum. It's very handy indeed.

Subject: Setting up a local repository for RHEL 4 on a RHEL 5 box

Is this possible. I found a KB article explaining how to install the
createrepo package for a RHEL5 local repository, but will this work
for any version of RHEL 4 since it doesn't use yum?

Thanks,
