Chapter 4. Custom Channel and Package Management

Important

This list differs from the package list available through the standard Software Channel

Details page in that it displays all versions of a package remaining in the database, rather

than just the latest. You may revert to a previous version of a package simply by removing

the latest version.

• Add — Enables the addition of packages to the channel. To see available packages, select

an option from the View dropdown menu and click View. To add packages to the channel you

are editing, select the appropriate checkboxes and click Add Packages. Refer to Section 4.6,

“Assigning Packages to Software Channels” for a discussion of this process.

• Compare — Enables the comparison of package lists between different channels. To see the

differences, select another channel from the Compare to: dropdown menu and click Compare.

A list appears showing all packages not contained by both channels and indicating the existing

channel location of each.

4.4. Manage Software Packages

In addition to adding and removing packages within channels, you also have the option of deleting

packages entirely from both the database and file system. Removal from the file system is delayed by

about one hour. This can be done through the Software Package Management page, accessed by

clicking Manage Software Packages on the left navigation bar.

Warning

Although deleting packages from the database can be undone by uploading them again, they

lose their association with any errata. Upon reloading, they must be re-associated with errata

manually. Refer to Chapter 5, Custom Errata Management for instructions.

To remove packages from the database, in the Software Package Management page, select an

option containing them from the View dropdown menu and click View. Then select the appropriate

checkboxes and click Delete Packages. A confirmation page appears with the packages listed. Click

Confirm to delete the packages entirely.

Since the actual packages are stored on the RHN Proxy Server, its custom packages cannot be

downloaded through the RHN website, although they are listed. They must be retrieved by the client

system using up2date. Since the RHN Satellite Server provides its own website, its custom packages

are accessible via HTTP or Red Hat Update Agent. To obtain custom packages, the client system

must be subscribed to the channel containing the packages.

4.5. Creating a Software Channel

Before uploading packages to the server, a custom channel can be created to house them. Refer to

Chapter 6, Uploading and Maintaining Custom Packages for instructions. Once uploaded, packages

may be reassigned through the website, as described in Section 4.6, “Assigning Packages to Software

Channels”.
