Adding extra repos to up2date source file

[gonzalo76]

If you use up2date to keep your system (Fedora Core 1) updated, take a look at my sources file and paste to your /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources if you like it. You should be root to do this.
You can copy any line you want, or, you can copy it entirely.

Gonzalo76, thanks for the information. Do you know if these will work with FC2? Just wondering if its possible?

[gonzalo76]

Nop, it's only for Fedora Core 1.
Maybe, I'll make another one for Fedora Core 2.
Greetings

An interesting thing of up2date:

You could also download rpm packages manually one by one and save them in a folder called, for example, 'up2date-rpms'
Then, you could use up2date tool to install them all.

Thi is what up2date says in it's sources file:

### this describes the various package repos up2date will look into
### for packages. It currently supports apt-rpm repos, yum repos,
### and "dir" repos

### an local directory full of packages
### format
#dir my-favorite-rpms-i386-9 /var/spool/RPMS/

Sometimes I download packages manually and save them in a folder called 'up2date-rpms'.
I had to edit my /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources first to add this new directory as a 'local repository'.

Like this:

#####################################
###### LOCAL RPM DIRECTORY ######
#####################################

### [up2date rpms]
dir up2date-rpms /home/gonzalo/up2date-rpms

### [END]


I personally use APT to keep my system updated.
Synaptic (http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic/) is a great GUI-frontend for APT and it's really easy to use.


Good Luck !!!

[gonzalo76]

How to use up2date :

If you supply package names on the command line, those particular packages will be updated or installed if there are new versions available.
Only the package name is needed, do not supply any version or release information.
If the package is not currently installed, it will be downloaded and installed, along with any dependencies that package requires.

--configure
Configure Update Agent options. This will allow you to adjust things such as which files/packages to skip by default, where to store retrieved packages, and more.

-d, --download
Download packages only, do not install them. This option is provided so that you can override the configuration option "Do not install packages after retrieval." It is mutually exclusive with the --install option.

-i, --install
Install packages after they are downloaded. This option is provided so that you can override the configuration option "Do not install packages after retrieval.". It is mutually exlusive with the the --download option.

-l, --list
Output a list of packages which have been updated and available for retrieval/installation.

--dry-run
Output a list of packages available for updates, and all the deps they need, including obsoletes.

--nosig
Do not use GPG to check package signatures (overrides configuration option).

--src
Download source rpms as well as binary rpms.

-u, --update
Completely update the system. All relevant packages will be downloaded (and possibly installed, if you have configured Update Agent to do so).

FILES

/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
Configuration settings for Update Agent.

/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
Configure settings for external package repositories

/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid
Unique system identification certificate for Red Hat Network.

/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date-keyring.gpg
The default keyring used specificaly for up2date, if used with versions of rpm that support it (rpm-4.0.4 or higher)

/var/spool/up2date
The spool directory where rpm stores package lists, package headers and packages.

/var/spool/repackage
The spool directory where rpm/up2date stores rollback rpms.

/var/log/up2date
This is the log file for up2date.

/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT
The ssl certificate authority file used by up2date to validate the Red Hat Network ssl servers.

/usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY
A copy of the Red Hat, Inc rpm package signing key. This is the gpg key that can be used to verify a package is signed by Red Hat, Inc.

EXAMPLES

The following example starts up the interactive gui client.

up2date

The following example shows up2date being used in non-interactive batch mode.

up2date -u

This example shows up2date being used to discover which packages solve a set of deps manually on a Red Hat Linux 7.0 machine.

up2date --whatprovides "/bin/bash,gimp,libhistory.so.4.1"
bash-2.04-11
readline-4.1-5
gimp-1.1.25-1

This example shows how to start up the text based config tool.

up2date --nox --configure

This example shows how to use up2date to install a package with many deps that isn't currently installed.

up2date kdebase

This example shows how to install all the packages from the channel foobar-1.0-i386

up2date --installall --channel foobar-1.0-i386

This example shows how to list all the currently installed packages that are not part of channels the system is currently subscribed to.

up2date --show-orphans

Most of gonzalo76 will just work on fc1 fc2 still under testing but stable.....and i have not seen many rpms for fc2 but i seen just a few to start.

good job gonzalo76 i just use yum as it is....i never had a problem with it.

imdeemvp:

You should NOT use this file with Fedora Core Test 2 (1.91 or 1.92).

Take a look for example at kernel.org ftp directories:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/

Index of /fedora.us/fedora/fedora

Directory

1.91/
1.92/
1/
latest/

As you can see, there are rpms for Fedora Core 1, 1.91 and 1.92.
For example, you should not download from directory 1.92 if you use Fedora Core 1 stable. You know what I mean ?

You should do as you please, it's your choice, you are warned :D

Greetings
gonzalo

[imdeemvp]

nope....i just use rpms for fc1 that is how my yum is set up :D
