hi Frank, there is also a plugin for yum called versionlock. It locks packages to a specific version so they won't get updated. I don't know if it can be used with the rhn-plugin for yum together, you could try it though.
Your question about the comparison of systems, I don't know if it's in Spacewalk (have to install a server today), but in Satellite you can compare the packages installed on one machine to another machine or to a profile. With a profile you can "synchronise" the systems to exactly the same state. cheers Jouk 2008/7/22 Frank Paulick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > good idea! > i already found out how to configure it on the client side. > > another question i have is if there is a way to compare systems regarding > the installed packages ? > so far i only found the verify option. > my problem is that i have a few systems (all centos 4 i386) where i would > like to know which packages need to be installed to have them all in the > same state > > btw. thanx for all the help ! > > Miroslav Suchý schrieb: > > Clifford Perry wrote: > > > Frank Paulick wrote: > > > Hi, > > is there a way to exclude packages from updating ? > like exclude = in yum.conf > -- > > > Server side in Spacewalk - no.
