Creating the repository configuration file

The final step is to create the repository configuration file. The file is required to identify the path to the repository data, and check whether a GPG signature check should be performed on the repository packages. You need only one repository configuration file.

1. Navigate to the repository directory.

   cd /etc/yum.repos.d/

2. Create a repository file.

   vi das.repo

   Alternatively, you can copy an existing repository file to edit.
3. Add the following content in the repository file:
   #VERSION_NUMBER=<downloaded-version#> [<service-name-abbreviation>]
   This is composed of the service name abbreviation and version number (includes the build number). Example: DAS-APP-1.4.5.0-x.

   name=<service-name-abbreviation> Version - <service-name-abbreviation>

   baseurl=http://<webserver-host-name>/<directory-containing-repo>

   <webserver-host-name> is the FQDN of the web server host that contains the repository. This is the same base URL that you used earlier to prepare the repositories.

   <directory-containing-repo> is the path expanded from the tarball.

   gpgcheck=1
   gpgkey=http://<webserver-host-name>/<directory-containing-repo>/RPM-GPG-KEY/RPM-GPG-KEY-Jenkins
   enabled=1      
   priority=1 

   Example Repository File:

   #VERSION_NUMBER=1.4.5.0-x 
   [DAS-APP-1.4.5.0-x] 
   name=DAS-APP Version - DAS-APP-1.4.5.0-x
   baseurl=http://<your_webserver>:port/DAS-APP/centos7/1.4.5.0-x
   gpgcheck=1
   gpgkey=http://<your_webserver>:port/DAS-APP/centos7/1.4.5.0-x/RPM-GPG-KEY/RPM-GPG-KEY-Jenkins
   enabled=1
   priority=1
