I was wondering if a possible solution would be to create a group of packages that I want to be removed from all systems, schedule a daily groupremove for that group, and then add any packages I want removed from all systems to that group. It seems excessive but I think it would get the job done. Would that work? -=Kevin=- -----Original Message----- From: O'Brien, Kevin Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 12:35 PM To: Yellowdog Updater, Modified Subject: RE: [Yum] Information about using groups Yum 2.6.0 So, is there any way to have yum clients automatically remove a package without running yum remove <package> on each system? I'm trying to setup a system where I can install, update, and remove packages from all my systems from a central location. I was hoping that if I configured all my systems to groupupdate from a base group and then removed a package from that group, all the systems would remove that package. I saw a mention of yum-queue back in 2004 but I can't find anything about it after that.
