  • 1.  local Toolbox Repository on SLES

    Posted Fri December 15, 2023 05:36 AM

    Dear community, dear Toolbox team,

    for disaster recovery reasons, we want to install a local repository server on a pc or notebook with SLES.

    On that system we would like to have the SLES repository, as well as the AIX Toolbox repo. Would it be possible to create that?
    I think we have to do that manually as well as the periodic updates of that repo... or is there any chance to get this done by zypper?

    Many thanks in advance for your comments and ideas in advance.

    Best regards

    Hi Joerg,

    why don't you want to use curl/wget to mirror the repository? It works. I mirror complete https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ including all repodata.

    If you use SLES RMT to mirror SLES repos, you can add 3rd party repos there - https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP1/single-html/SLES-rmt/index.html#sec-rmt-mirroring-custom-repository

    As far as I can see, SLES provides dnf-utils package too:

    dnf-utils                                   SUSE Package Hub (PackageHub/15.4/ppc64le) SUSEConnect --product PackageHub/15.4/ppc64le 
    

    It should contain utilities to mirror repositories.

    Hello Andrey,

    thanks for the tip. I didn't thought that I could "mirror" the AIX Toolbox Repo.
    I will try it with wget...

    thanks again

    kind regards
