build a repository
Hi,

i'll explain my problem in few words:

i have to create a repository with mrepo on a RH. I see many procedures on internet and even in linux mag, but there isn't any case where the iso and rpm deposit aren't placed on the repository but on a remote system (a NetApp filer in my case).

So i wonder if it's possible (i don't really see why it could be impossible) to place my data on a remote machine?
And if it's possible, i wonder how configure mrepo:
the line iso = RHEL$release.?-$arch.iso in the /etc/mrepo.conf.d/rhel5 should be modified to iso = file:///'path to my remote netapp directory' or not?

In fact, i have some difficulties to understand what link wiil be created by mrepo, and what directory i'll have to mount with the mount command (mount -t cifs 'remote_path_where_iso_stored' ....).

i hope i am clear enough.

Thx for your help.

DESCRIPTION

       The JPackage Project has two primary goals:

	- To provide a coherent set of Java software packages for Linux, satisfying all quality requirements of other applications.

	- To establish an efficient and robust policy for Java software packaging and installation.
	 We  focus  on	free and open source software whenever possible. For convenience, we also provide non-free packages without the restricted
	 source code.

       Our RPMs are generic in that they should work on any RPM based Linux distribution (Mandriva, Red Hat, SuSE, others). Other packaging format
	 suggestions are welcome too.
