From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: I'd like to be able to push errata down to a set of servers deployed in the field (at different locations) using RHN. I want to leave control of when to install packages to the local administrators of those servers (as installs may require a reboot). I don't want to allow local administrators to download additional packages direct from RHN, only packages that have been selected and pushed to the servers by me from RHN. Currently, I can adjust the up2date client configuration to download packages only. This allows me to push errata downloads to the server. However to install the errata from the client I have to use several manual steps to install the downloaded RPMs (see below). I'd like to be able to do this through up2date (command line switches ideally), so I only need to do one command instead of several. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.2.14-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: There should be an up2date command to install downloaded packages (and only downloaded packages), instead of having to do the following procedure: 1. rpm -Uvh /var/spool/up2date/*.rpm 2. manually delete the RPMs 3. Update the server's package profile with up2date -p Additional info:
