[CentOS] update of rpm directory
Hi! I have an directory full with rpms that are installed on some machines.. what is the best way to update those rpms to the latest version? are there more optimal approaches then searching for each rpm names in an update repo and download one by one?

Your question is not very clear. Do you mean that you have just a local directory of RPMS or that you maintain a local repo? If just a directory then you may want to read: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalRepos http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror In either case, it you want to see what updates are available from a particular repo, say reponame: yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo reponame check-update You could then download and put RPMS in your local repo as desired.

Thanks it helps! but a little more bit of info^Whints could help even more: lets say that on the server i do this stuff (and where is this dir from which nodes are installed) everything is up to date.. (and worker nodes are NOT updated) and i dont want to ask nodes do give me an rpm -qa.. how can a make a diff (comparing versions) between rpms form local directory and update repo? (other than take the rpm name from dir; strip name and version ; search in update repo the rpm name ; compare version , if newer download rpm ) Thanks a lot!!

(other than take the rpm name from dir; strip name and version ; search in update repo the rpm name ; compare version , if newer download rpm ) If I understand you correctly, you're asking how the worker nodes know what to update? The simplest answer is that yum deals with all that. If you set up a local repo mirror, then that machine should share out that repo directory via http or ftp. You would sync that with an upline mirror, either via ftp or rsync. Then on the worker nodes, you would create a custom repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d pointing to your local repository. Then the worker nodes could just run a yum update and they would get all the updates they need. It will do all the version checking, and all you have to worry about is keeping your server's local mirror up to date. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] update of rpm directory
If I understand this correctly then you want to update
the LOCAL RPM files to the latest version?
I am not sure but you could try yumdownloader
with some kind of bash script:
for f in `ls -1 *rpm`; do
echo Working on file: $f
rpm=${f##*/}
name=${rpm%%-[0-9]*}
echo The name of the rpm: $name
yumdownloader $name
done
This is NOT tested but you could give it a try!
