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.

CREATE-JAR-LINKS(1)						   User Commands					       CREATE-JAR-LINKS(1)

NAME

       create-jar-links -f instructions_file [-a archive_file] [-p]

SYNOPSIS

       create-jar-links -f instructions_file [-a archive_file] [-p]

OPTIONS

       -a Archive file on which actions will be performed, as opposed to current directory

       -p Preserve original file names (-p to build-jar-repository)

       -f The instructions file to check against.

       -a Archive file on which actions will be performed, as opposed to current directory

       -p Preserve original file names (-p to build-jar-repository)

       -f The instructions file to check against.

EXAMPLES

       Suppose	there  is a clean source tarball (using clean-binary-files(1) and check-binary-files(1)). Following this, one can extract the tar-
       ball, cd to it, and run:

	      create-jar-links -f <instructions> -d <custom_jar_map>

       This would call build-jar-repository(1) and create symlinks, with extra mappings (form vanilla jar names to jpp names) that are specifiable
	      via the custom jar map.

SEE ALSO

   Regular Manual Pages
       check-binary-files(1), create-jar-links(1), build-jar-repository(1), jpackage-utils(7)

   Documentation
       Further reading should be found in clean-binary-files.txt located in your standard documentation directory.
