similar to: auto-creating a local yum cache?

Hi. At the moment it seems my machines just update to the latest current release . I install a 6.0 machine and run yum update , and next thing its 6.2 . I have a requirement where I need machines to only upgrade to even numbered sub releases eg: 6.0 , 6.2, 6.4 and only on my approval. But will allow updates within a given release. How can I achieve this ? If I sync the repositories for eg: 6.0

I need to do some testing with 5.3 as its suggested that 5.4 has "some bugs in the toolchain and libc". That being the case, I can install with a url and repo line pointing to a mirror with 5.3 still but how does one properly make sure during subsequent uses of yum it doesn't attempt to use 5.4 rpms? Is it simple enough to just manually set '$releasever' to 5.3 in the repo

I want to update a CentOS 6.x install.? But it's located behind a firewall with no connectivity to the external internet. What are my options? ??? === Al

OK,

Hi, It's taken me ages to get past teh compile dependencies and having to build most of the dependencies from source. I then ran make and within a few short compilations the samba3 make fails with the following errors: ~/samba-3.5.5/source3> make Using CFLAGS = -I../lib/zlib -I/app/utils//include -O -I. -I/app/builduser/samba-3.5.5/source3

Hey folks, I've had a local mirror set up for some time now and it has always worked, but suddently stopped. I don't think the fact that it stopped work has anything to do with when I blew away that machine and changed it from Centos 5.3 to a Fedora Core 11 box. But I'm not sure how that could make any difference since it is just serving that stuff over the web. It still works

Dear Patrice, I have noticed that you are referencing to the Stahnma repository for Spacewalk Client Tools. These are quite old and I would suggest to use the tools from: http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum instead. Mr. Suchy already pushed some of the packages to Fedora/EPEL so they might be available there, soon. Besides that the Spacewalk Team is thinking about a split between client/server on

I am a little new to managing large numbers of CentOS/RHEL servers and was wondering what you experienced sysadmins prefer, Spacewalk or Puppet?

Anyone here use spacewalk as opposed other foss apps to accomplish the same thing? Any opinions? Thanks, jlc

I have a mix of CentOS 5, 6, and now 7 servers at work. There are enough of them now that it is starting to make sense for them to get updates from an internal source. I've seen RHN Satellite in years past. It looks like it may be a way to allow Windows admins here (familiar with WSUS) to update Linux boxes. A local repo might be easier to set up, but (as with Spacewalk) it seems like

Hi, I would like to contribute a howto page about the configuration of Spacewalk for package management under CentOS 5. Spacewalk is the upstream project for the source of RedHat Network Satellite. It provides a management interface for software updates across registered servers and desktops. Here is were I would like to put this page: <http://www.redhat.com/red_hat_network/>

Hello, When I try to sync CentOS 6 from different ftp mirrors using spacewalk command "spacewalk-repo-sync" I get this message " 'Unable to load package', 'Invalid information uploaded to the server' " for 38 packages. When I check, these 38 packages are not named correctly. For example, sync command is looking for

Hi guys, I want to update and add some content to this page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/Spacewalk The page have instructions for Spacewalk 0.6, but there's a newer version (0.7) and some changes are needed. I already updated my spacewalk install and would like to contribute with the wiki page. More information about spacewalk can be found here:

Hi ! I`m getting "rsync warning: some files vanished before they could be transferred (code 24) at main.c(1518) [generator=3.0.9]" on one of my systems i`m backing up with rsync , but rsync doesn`t show WHICH files. Does anybody have a clue under which circumstances rsync doesn`t show these ? regards Roland

We have a DHCP/PXE server in a build environment, which is separate from our Spacewalk v1.5 server. We direct builds to Satellite or Spacewalk based as needed. It contains initrd & vmlinuz files for each version/arch we currently deploy for both RHEL & CEL. I'd like to keep the storage footprint to a minimum, if possible.
