Hello,
I have a RHN account and a subscription to the RHEL3ES channel. I
want to download the available update RPMs via wget on a nightly
basis (not using up2date).
My internal R&D machines (various flavors of Linux) are firewalled
from external (internet) access. I have a separate machine that
lives on edge of my network that scans for new RPMs on several different
sites. It downloads them and makes them available internally via an
NFS mount.
So, since I have an RHN account name and password that can be used for
authentication purposes I should be able to use wget to retrieve the RPMs
for the channels I am subscribed to under HTTPS.
The goal is to be able to do this automatically (via cron) at night from
a server which is not the target machine for the update RPMs.
Something like this:
wget -c -N
https://user:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/download/rhn/private/rhel3-rhdb/i386/RPMS/*.rpm
Can we get this to work? I can always write a
perl/python/php script spider/robot to traverse the RHN web site
and do this work, but I was hoping for a simple, community friendly,
mechanism. What say you?
