Hello All,
I would like to add epel repo to my centos 8 dvd kickstart in order to install kde.
I installed the base system, then changed keepcache, installed epel-release, downloaded all the desired kde packages, then created an EPEL dir alongside the existing Appstream and base dirs at the root of my working dir. I downloaded epel's repodata dir from the web and placed it in EPEL along with the kde rpms i placed in the EPEL Packages dir.
EPEL
-repodata
-Packages
In my kickstart file I added the repo , like so,
# Create additional repo during installation
repo --name="AppStream" --baseurl=file:///run/install/repo/AppStream
repo --name="EPEL" --baseurl=file:///run/install/repo/EPEL
Along with the kde files I added chromium files to the EPEL repo.
%packages
@^graphical-server-environment
@debugging
@file-server
@mail-server
@network-file-system-client
@network-server
@performance
@remote-desktop-clients
@remote-system-management
@smb-server
@system-tools
@legacy-x
@kde-desktop-environment
chromium
However when I attempt to install from the dvd , It give me the errors
missing packages: chromium
missing groups or modules: @kde-desktop-environment
I can see the package and group in my EPEL/repodata comps.xml file
I attempted to run createrepo kickstart_dvd/isolinux/EPEL/Packages/ , then copy the resultant repodata dir to
kickstart_dvd/isolinux/EPEL, but that didnt seem to help.
Can anyone point out what im missing so anaconda can see my epel packages at install time ?
Thanks,
Steve
