Hi, I'd like to use Dag Wieers yam (depo) to mirror the SL repo's. The product is here: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/depo/ I created an sl4.conf file with the following entries (gleamed from the centos4.conf file): ### Name: Scientific Linux 4 ### URL: https://www.scientificlinux.org/ [sl4] name = ScientificLinux $release ($arch) release = 44 #arch = i386 x86_64 ia64 s390 s390x alpha arch = i386 x86_64 metadata = repomd repoview ### ISO images iso = ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/$release/iso/$arch/SL- $release-$arch-disc?of4.iso #os = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$release/os/$arch/CentOS/RPMS/ #sl-base = ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/ $basearch/SL/RPMS/ ### Additional repositories sl-errata = ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/ $basearch/errata/SL/RPMS/ sl-fastbug = ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/ $basearch/errata/fastbugs/RPMS/ ##centosplus = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$release/centosplus/ $arch/RPMS/ ##extras = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$release/extras/$arch/RPMS/ ##addons = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$release/addons/$arch/RPMS/ sl-contrib = ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/ $basearch/contrib/RPMS/ ##sl-testing = ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/testing/ $basearch/RPMS/ ##csgfs = http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$release/csgfs/$arch/RPMS/ ##rhaps = ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/RHAPS2/ $basearch/RPMS/ ### RPMforge repository ##rpmforge = rsync://apt.sw.be/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el4/en/ $arch/RPMS.dag/ #rpmforge = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$arch/RPMS.dag/ ### OpenVZ repositories #ovzkernel = http://download.openvz.org/kernel/rhel4/ #ovztemplate = http://download.openvz.org/template/ #ovzutils = http://download.openvz.org/utils/ ### Custom repository for your own RPM packages custom = Needless to say it fails on each one that's uncommented with errors like: sl4-i386: Mirror packages from ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/$basearch/contrib/RPMS/ to /home/Software/yam/sl4-i386/sl-contrib mirror: Access failed: 550 Failed to change directory. (/linux/scientific/4x/ $basearch/contrib/RPMS) yam: Mirroring failed for ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/4x/ $basearch/contrib/RPMS/ with message: Failed with return code: 256 Has anyone got this working with SL and if so, can you please supply me the conf file you're using? Thanks. Michael.
