I have a local repo for Rocky Linux 8. I am planning to add 9 also question is do I synch from the Rocky Linux 9.0? Or do I have to update my repo file to for each minor release?
9.0 is not supported. Only the latest is supported. We highly recommend syncing from the current and latest repositories.
I was ask as general practice. How to always have the most current minor version of 9 without having to manually update my mirror url. IE 9.0 to 9.1 My current mirror for Rocky 8 is hosted on a Rocky 8 box.
I setup my Rocky repo file like below in order to sync the repo. I wish there was a way so when repossync ran it didn’t create the directory as appstream9 and baseos9. But I couldn’t think how else to configure the repo file so it gets 9 repo and not 8.
[baseos9]
name=Rocky Linux 9 - BaseOS
baseurl=http://mirror.hostart.az/Rocky-Linux/9.1/BaseOS/$basearch/os/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
countme=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rockyofficial
[appstream9]
name=Rocky Linux 9 - AppStream
baseurl=http://mirror.hostart.az/Rocky-Linux/9.1/AppStream/$basearch/os/
#baseurl=http://dl.rockylinux.org/$contentdir/$releasever/AppStream/$basearch/os/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
countme=1
I would use
baseurl=http://mirror.hostart.az/Rocky-Linux/$releasever/BaseOS/$basearch/os/
Each Rocky 9 does have $releasever==9.
Then – just like on the official mirrors – have a symlink 9 → 9.1.
When your local repo gets the 9.2 content, you can update the symlink to point to 9.2.
