Re: Setting up yum repository
The important thing is to set up a single system to pull the rpms down in a scripted way.
You want as many packages as possible to be installed.

This can be done with Red Hat Systems. I built a system to do that 2 years ago to update systems on closed (No Internet) systems that were licensed.
If you use this with RHEL, it DOES NOT negate the license requirements.
I actually have scripts and documentation available for my RHEL system. Post back or contact me if you want further assistance.

Re: Setting up yum repository
We went from a handful of rhel systems to now over 60 in a short period of time and I'm trying to figure out a good way to update systems without using RH proxy or satellite server.
They all have a subscription so everything is legit; just looking for a cheaper solution.
There are many Xen guests, almost all RHEL5 x86_64 with a handful of i386.
Would you be able to offer some info on your strategy for managing yum repositories ?
Thx.

Re: Setting up yum repository
I maintain two servers, 1 64 bit, one 32 for each major Red Hat release, 2,3,4,5.
They get the patches.
Toward the end of the update cycle when things seem to be the most stable, I cut iso images which I use for mileposts.
I create tested release sets, where I've updated the patch gathering system and run some basic stability tests to make sure things are stable.
Basically you meet the needs of your organization. I also developed a script for getting rid of old releases of rpms from the repository to make sure they do not get too big.
Lets say there are 4 releases of vsftpd during an update cycle. I only really need the newest, so I run a script to clean out the old. Its important to keep the overall repository below 8 GB so it can be carried about on a DVD. At least it was for me.
I have an adaptable system for taking care of this, that consists of scripts I wrote. I believe it has some commercial value though.
