Purpose

To learn how to create a repository.

Background Resources

Before starting this lab, you will need:

  1. The RPMs from the previous lab.

Preparation

  • Install these packages if they are not already installed:
    1. rpm-sign
    2. gnupg

Steps

Using the procedures on the Signing and Creating a Repository for RPM Packages page:

  1. Create gpg certificates
  2. Sign your RPM packages
  3. Create the ASCII public key file

Deliverable

Create a blog post describing your experience. Include:

  • The results, including a link to one signed RPM package and your ASCII public key file.
  • Your reflections on the tools, process, and experience.
