How to mirror a repository for which the version also contains non-numerical characters? #304

|
While playing around I am trying to accomplish a task: Create a mirror of the OracleLinux repo. This is a.rpm based repository. I've added the source repository with the URL https://yum.oracle.com/repo (documentation here https://yum.oracle.com/getting-started.html) 
They use a bit of a different naming scheme, as their version is indicated with OL8. When I enter OL8 as the version, which I was allowed to add during the source repository creation, repomanager states version can be numerical only.

Here is how I did it: 
Using the following URL: https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL$releasever/baseos/latest/$basearch This is for BaseOS repository only, you will have to do the same for the AppStream repository. Beware that Oracle repositories consume a lot of memory, sometimes you have to increase the php memory limit in the settings if it fails or hang. |
