I was going to ask this question about Yam on the Yam list but then I
noticed it was a new list (with perhaps only a few members) and only
one post.
So, prehaps incorrectly, I felt this would be a better place to post; at
least this question...
I like what I see.
I've looked at the sample configuration files, but since my only
experience with yum is using it as it comes, and I have no experience
with Yam at all, I'm not sure what configuration I'd need.
If my yum configuration on each server were to have:
<snip>
baseurl=ftp://centos.cs.ucr.edu/centos/centos-3/$releasever/os/$basearch/
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/$releasever/os/$basearch/
<snip>
And instead I wanted to run Yam on one system, what would I use in my
yam.conf file to update my local repository from the same sources?
Let's just use the rhes3 section from your sample file (and allowing for
the automatic line-wrapping which occurs below):
<snip>
[rhes3]
name = Red Hat Enterprise Server $release U3 ($arch)
release = 3
iso = rhel-$release-U3-$arch-es-disc?.iso
updates = file:///var/spool/up2date/
dag =
rsync://apt.sw.be/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el$release/en/$arch/RPMS.$repo/
</snip>
What do I need, and what can I skip?
We're NOT doing network installs; but we'll want to keep all released
updates in sync.
Thanks for your help; it's much appreciated.
Jeff
