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.
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 6,
“Assigning Packages to Software Channels”.
Channels are created on the Red Hat Network website as follows:
1. Log in to the Red Hat Network website as a Channel Administrator.
2. On the top navigation bar, click the Channels tab and then click the Manage Software
Channels button on the left navigation bar.
3. On the Software Channel Management page, click create new software channel at the
top-right corner. RHN Satellite Server administrators are presented with the option to clone
channel. Refer to Section 7, “Cloning Software Channels” for instructions.
4. On the New Channel page, define the details of the channel following the instructions on the
page. For most channel management actions, the Channel Label is used to identify the
channel, so select a meaningful label. View the details of existing channels for ideas.
The GPG key URL must be the location of the key on the server, as defined during the client
configuration process. Refer to the Red Hat Network Client Configuration Guide. The GPG
key ID is the unique identifier, such as "DB42A60E", while the GPG key fingerprint is similar
to "CA20 8686 2BD6 9DFC 65F6 ECC4 2191 80CD DB42 A60E". Notice that the key ID is
the same as the last pair of quartets in the key fingerprint.
5. When finished, click Create Channel at the bottom of the page.
