[ much snipped ] I owe Konstantin an apology. I read things into his directions that were not there, especially concerning customized kernels (which he did not suggest) I still don't like the autoupdate tool because it's not in the main SL codeline, nor in RHEL's main codeline, but that's not his fault in any way. >> You've also improved the instructions to use standard repos rather >> than private repository URL's, that's a good move.

Konstantin, I do apologize. It's been a hard week personally for me for other reasons, and I gave you a full blast of ranting which you did not deserve. > (no, I do not expect to see a message from Nico about doctoring wiki history > databases). Which I certainly do not think you did. I'm sorry I left you with that impression about *my* behavior. >> More checking shows that the "yum-kernel-module" ... >> I've no idea why you think it's still needed.

I'm not sure why the Cern repository you pointed to bothers to include the tool. It's been discarded in the upstream RHEL 7, and is not available in the public RHEL 7 source repositories at git.centos.org. We could talk about PackageKit and its overlap with the older funcationality of the autoupdate tools some time, preferably in a separate thread.
