Now that all the files are in place, we can run createrepo on our repository to generate the files necessary for yum.

[root@server0 install]# yum -y install createrepo

Now that our repo files are in place, we need to create an rpm for our repository so we can install it with kickstart or we can install a repo file and add the key to rpm using kickstart. Creating an rpm is probably cleaner. If you want to test this repo at this point, you can add the following file to /etc/yum.repos.d, and copy the RPM-GPG-KEY-example.com that we created earlier into /etc/pki/rpm-gpg (actually, since we already imported the key with rpm --import, yum shouldn't complain about keys at this point, but copying the file is a good idea).

[root@server0 yum.repos.d]# cp ~signer/RPM-GPG-KEY-example.com /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
[root@server0 yum.repos.d]# cat local.repo
