How to install from the repo on the DVD

  • [Bug 888307]--Satellit 12:35, 18 December 2012 (EST)
--- Comment #1 from Andre Robatino <robatino@fedoraproject.org> ---
I've found (testing on F17) that if I create a local.repo file in
/etc/yum.repos.d/ with the contents

[local]
name=Local
baseurl=file:///dev/sr0/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

I  can then use the DVD as a local repo (disabling all other repos to avoid
downloading updated packages) with a command such as

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=local install XXXXXX

I never use PackageKit so don't know if it can be made to work with that.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/packagekit/plain/docs/media-repo.txt
Tested and did not seem to work in f18 --Satellit 10:36, 18 December 2012 (EST)
Basically you insert the DVD with PackageKit open and it automatically mounts
the disk, grabs the media repo off the disk, and adds it to the list of
sources. This was added to Fedora in *2009*. If you find the support no longer
working, please file a bug under the PackageKit package.
