How to configure system to use the FIWARE yum repository?


I know that FI-WARE offers a public yum repository at http://repositories.testbed.fiware.org/ that can be used to install FI-WARE packages such as Orion contexto Broker.

However, how can I configure my system to use that repository? E.g. which .conf file I need to add in my /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory to make it work.

Thanks!


Solution

  • You need to add a file fiware.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the following lines:

    [fiware]
    name=Fiware Repository
    baseurl=http://repositories.lab.fiware.org/repo/rpm/$releasever
    gpgcheck=0
    enabled=1
    

    I hope it helps you.

    EDIT: originally, baseurl were http://repositories.lab.fiware.org/repo/rpm/x86_64/. That is still working, but the correct one since April 2016 uses $releasever. In addition, /x86_64 has been removed.

    EDIT: originally, the name was repositories.testbed.fiware.org but it changed to repositories.lab.fiware.org on Feburary 2016.
