[Yum] Red Hat Enterprise

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Assuming that you already have the rpms in one place, you can use
yum-arch to build the header information.  Assuming that if the rpm gets
updated, you want to just push it out, if you have your yum.conf
pointing to that repo, and have yum running out of cron, anytime there
is an updated rpm, the clients will update as updates are available.

So,
* Run yum-arch for the location of your RPM's.
* Install yum on your clients.
* Set up the cron job to run at the desired frequency.
* Set the yum.conf on the clients to point at your mounted repository.
* As new RPM's get installed, re-run yum-arch.
