Uploading/Obtaining an RPM Component Using Linux Commands

Prerequisites

• An RPM component is available.
• A Linux host that can connect to the public network is available.
• You have created an RPM repository.
• You have permissions for the current repository. For details, see Managing Repository Permissions

Releasing a Component to an RPM Repository

1. Log in to CodeArts Artifact and access the RPM repository. Click Tutorial on the right of the page.

   

2. In the displayed dialog box, click Download Configuration File.
3. On the Linux host, run the following command to upload an RPM component:

   curl -u {{user}}:{{password}} -X PUT https://{{repoUrl}}/{{component}}/{{version}}/ -T {{localFile}}

   In this command, user, password, and repoUrl can be obtained from the RPM upload command in the configuration file downloaded in the previous step.

   • user: character string before the colon (:) between curl -u and -X
   • password: character string after the colon (:) between curl -u and -X
   • repoUrl: character string between https:// and /{{component}}

   

   component, version, and localFile can be obtained from the RPM component. The hello-0.17.2-54.x86_64.rpm component is used as an example.

   • component: software name, for example, hello.
   • version: software version, for example, 0.17.2.
   • localFile: RPM component, for example, hello-0.17.2-54.x86_64.rpm.

   The following figure shows the complete command.

   

4. After the command is successfully executed, go to the self-hosted repo and find the uploaded RPM component.

Obtaining a Dependency from an RPM Repository

The following procedure uses the RPM component released in Releasing a Component to an RPM Repository as an example to describe how to obtain a dependency from an RPM repository.

1. Download the configuration file by referring to Releasing a Component to an RPM Repository.
2. Open the configuration file, replace all {{component}} in the file with the value of {{component}} (hello in this file) used for uploading the RPM file, delete the RPM upload command, and save the file.

3. Save the modified configuration file to the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory on the Linux host.

   

4. Run the following command to download the RPM component: Replace hello with the actual value of component.

   yum install hello
