RPM conflicts - help!

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



I long ago standardized on yum, and have been maintaining my own repos for 
various flavors. (Such as, a yum repo for updates from Progeny for aging 
RedHat 7.x systems - their curl-based system sucks, but sticking a yum repo 
on top of an "update" yum repo managed by a cron script makes managing 
updates a single-command process) 

Thanks - the config on my server has been so updated, and yum update works as 
expected.
