For new installs I would prefer the RPMs installed be the latest versions (for security purposes) vs. the original ones that came with the distro. Plus installing the originals then upgrading (via yum) will cause the builds to take longer too. I manage a large number of machines and need all the security and time savings I can get. :) Steve -----Original Message----- From: Satish Balay [mailto:balay@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 12:17 PM To: Yellowdog Updater, Modified Subject: RE: [Yum] Maintaining yum repositories On Fri, 21 Nov 2003, Nielsen, Steve wrote: > So the basic steps would be: > rsync down the updates > merge udpates into distro <--- here > rebuild the hdlist Why bother with this merge and weeding out the old versions? Why not just let yum pick up the latest versions? Satish _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
