Re: [IBMiOSS] yum using http instead of ftp?

There are no CA certificates shipped with any of our products, so it
doesn't know it can be trusted. This is something else we'd like to fix,
but for now I have a script that adds various CA certificates to the trust
store:

OK, I'm going to try an experiment.

I've setup a mirror of the ftp site on my own server
(yum-mirror.midrange.com).

Just change the ibm.repo to look like this:

[ibm]
name=ibm
baseurl=http://yum-mirror.midrange.com/software/ibmi/products/pase/rpms/repo
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Interestingly, yum doesn't like my letsencrypt certificate.

/qopensys/pkgs/bin/yum list

14] curl#60 - "SSL certificate
problem: unable to get local issuer certificate"
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
ibm. Please verify its path and try again

It works fine with the non ssl url.

I've got a cron job running that will update the mirror daily.
