yum --installroot should use /etc/yum.repos.d?

I have a chroot environment in a directory. I want to install some RPM packages using the repositories in that chroot environment instead of the host OS ones.

yum --installroot= will look for packages repositories only in myroot/etc/yum.repos.d or it will only/also look in /etc/yum/repos.d? RHEL 6 is having the latter behavior. If that is expected behavior, what is the best method to achieve what I need?

Thanks in advance.

I you start yum from within the chroot, it will only look in myroot/etc/yum.repos.d. If you start it from the normal system, it will always look in /etc/yum.repos.d.

So just start yum from within chroot. Of course you will first have to install yum and everything needed for it in the chroot.

For all yum dists you can define your own configuration by:

yum -c myyum.conf --installroot=....

and create the myyum.conf file e.g.

[main]

cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever

keepcache=1

debuglevel=1

logfile=/yum.log

exactarch=1

obsoletes=1

gpgcheck=1

plugins=1

installonly_limit=5

distroverpkg=centos-release

reposdir=./my_yum.repos.d/

metadata_expire=90m

http_caching=all

color=off

which will in this case look for the repos in ./my_yum.repos.d/
