2. Uploading Packages to RHN Satellite Server

The RHN Push application allows you to serve custom packages associated with a private RHN

channel through the RHN Satellite Server. If you want the RHN Satellite Server to serve only

official Red Hat Enterprise Linux packages, you do not need to install RHN Push.

To use RHN Push, install the rhnpush package and its dependencies. This package is

available to registered RHN Satellite Server systems and is installed by running up2date

rhnpush.

RHN Push uploads RPM header information to the RHN Satellite Server database and places

the RPM in the RHN Satellite Server package repository. Unlike the RHN Proxy Server's RHN

Package Manager, RHN Push never distributes package information, even the headers,

beyond the RHN Satellite Server database.

Tip

If your Satellite installation is enabled to support Solaris OS systems, you may

use RHN Push from a Solaris client to upload Solaris package content to custom

Solaris channels.

2.1. Configuring the RHN Push Application

When RHN Push is installed, a central configuration file is installed in

/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnpushrc. This file contains values for all the options contained in

Table 6.2, “rhnpush options”. In addition, the application creates ~/.rhnpushrc and

./.rhnpushrc upon its initial use.

These distinct configuration files are useful in varying your settings depending on the directory

from which the rhnpush command is issued. Settings in the current directory (./.rhnpushrc)

take precedent over those in the user's home directory (~/.rhnpushrc), which are used before

those in the central configuration file (/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnpushrc).

For instance, you can use the current directory configuration file to specify the software channel

to be populated, the home directory configuration file to include the username to be invoked,

and the central configuration file to identify the server to receive the packages.

Table 6.2, “rhnpush options” contains all command line options for the rhnpush command:

Option Description

-v --verbose Increase verbosity, option can be used multiple times,

Manager
