I know that the updates should be compatible, but it doesn't always work out, so we need to plan for update-specific package RPMs.
The other reason is that it would be nice to store all of the installation RPMs on a central server and just NFS mount the directory from the head node. Since RHEL4U2 and RHEL4U3 require different subdirectories, then why should the nomenclature for packages differ from that used for the tftpboot subdirectory? I was just alluding to OSCAR 5 plans for SUSE support. My mistake--the correct architecture code is i386 and not ia32.

During one release the APIs are not supposed to change (glibc stays the same, for example), only the bugs are fixed. That means if you need update-specific packages, something's badly broken. > rhel3u5-ia64 rhel3-ia64 > rhel4-ia32 yes > rhel4u2-x86_64 rhel4-x86_64 > sles9sp2-ia32 sles9-i386 > suse9.3-x86_64 yes. 9.3 is a version number, not an update. But where did you get the nice sles and suse support? Could you include it into OSCAR? ;-) Just kidding...
