I had to do an internetless install but still wanted to use yum.

Roughly:

1st, I installed a minimal OS
set yum to cache everything.
install packstack, etc w/ internet access.
copy the yum cache off

2nd, install a new minimal OS
disable existing yum repos
use the yum cache copy to create a repo
Use yum repo priorities to make your local repo 1st.
Install all the repos from before
disable all the repos except yours
Use yum priorities to make all the other repos lower than yours
install packstack, etc. Yum will go to your repo 1st.
disable all repos except your local again

Packstack installs some repos. It will also enable repos that you have disabled. They's why the priorities are needed.

If you connect up the the internet and there are newer versions in the packstack enabled repos, they will be found and installed during packstack. You might need to go back & recreate your local repo in this case.

Hi, as I've mentioned that I am working on a RDO-Fedora remix for my GSoC. I have a problem regarding PackStack "yum".

My idea is to install RDO packages during OS installation (when other system packages are being installed) and then PackStack at first boot. (I am writing an Anaconda add-on to do so).

But the problem is that even if all packages are already installed packstack still tries to run:

yum install -y puppet hiera ....

which results in an error on a system that is offline (I use a VM with no internet connectivity so that install is totally offline).

Is there a solution to this?

PS: PackStack works if I place RDO rpms in yum cache and direct repo url to this cache folder.
