A free and legal way would be not to use/recreate the anaconda and redhat-logos package. By using yum, we achieve 100% compatibility with RHE3/4 without paying anything to redhat (only one single machine to download the patches for each arch). With yum 2.4x you have quite a lot of deps problem (if you want to use it with RH3) and than you have to maintain multiple packages (for RH and maybe fedora/centos - for example libxml package) - so we ended up using yum 2.0 -----Original Message----- From: yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:yum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Brian Long Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 9:13 PM To: Yellowdog Updater, Modified Subject: Re: [Yum] Can we use yum to update RHEL?

RHN satellite server seems > has more control functions than Yum. This has been a political battle with Red Hat. We are already paying for the updates via our license fee, so we don't want to pay extra for RHN Satellite :) Also, we don't want to maintain a RHN Satellite server (overhead, etc). We are using my patched up2date to bring down the RHN updates on a single machine: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162210 /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | | IT Data Center Systems | .|||. .|||.
