Subject: [Yum] YUM client for Windows
Message-ID: <1995367602.477141.1536234740900@connect.xfinity.com>

I know, I know, YUM is for Linux.  But my current Lab environment in AWS is prevented from connecting outside our VPC (corporate decision), so I'm looking for a method to pull down the RPMs on my corporate Windows client, and move them over to our CentOS boxes in AWS.

Any suggestions ???

Yum only needs the content to be available on a web server; it doesn't
care what OS runs it.  Make a local mirror of the repositories you want
(preferably using rsync from a nearby public mirror) and modify the
repository files in /etc/yum.repos.d on your clients to talk to your new
local mirror.  You can limit rsync to only the content that is truly
needed with liberal use of "--exclude" options.

If carrying a full mirror is too problematic, you could also just run a
proxy.  I've no idea how to do that on Windows, though, and it would
probably fall afoul of your corporate policy.
