We are using Oracle Linux 9 and are introducing Nexus as a local proxy repo for the yum/dnf repos. Idea is to proxy those we need then combine them to a single group repo that we use from the servers.
When creating the proxy repos, how should I handle the variables. For example, the default repo definition for the Oracle AppStream Repo specifies the URL as
baseurl=https://yum$ociregion.$ocidomain/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/appstream/$basearch/
When defining my proxy repo, should I substitute values for the variables or not? I.e. should I point my proxy at a source of http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/appstream/x86_64 or just http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/appstream/ ?
I was thinking that if I do the first I would then not include the $basearch in the definition for my Nexus group repo but in the latter case I should - is that correct? Is there an advantage to or the other?
Using the Open Source version of Nexus.
