If just a i have just a directory of rpms that are going to be installed through some scripting (through PXE) on a bunch of servers. all i need is to update the version for the rpms present in that dir > directory then you may want to read: > > http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalRepos > http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror > > In either case, it you want to see what updates are available from a > particular repo, say "reponame": > > yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo reponame check-update > > You could then download and put RPMS in your local repo as desired. Thanks it helps! but a little more bit of info^Whints could help even more: lets say that on the server i do this stuff (and where is this dir from which nodes are installed) everything is up to date.. (and worker nodes are NOT updated) and i dont want to ask nodes do give me an "rpm -qa".. how can a make a diff (comparing versions) between rpms form local directory and update repo? (other than take the rpm name from dir; strip name and version ; search in update repo the rpm name ; compare version , if newer download rpm ) Thanks a lot!!
