Chapter 8. UNIX Support Guide 173
Note
The following changes have been made to
solaris2mpm
:
1. Generated mpm files now contain release info:
name-version-release.arch.mpm
2. Patch clusters are now "exploded" and
mpm
files are generated for each
patch in the cluster as well as a top-level "meta"
mpm
file for the cluster
The second,
rhnpush
, works like the standard
rhnpush
, except that it also now handles
mpm
files as well as
rpm
files.
A usage example:
% rhnpush -v --server testbox.example.com --username myuser -c solaris-8 \
RHATrpush-3.1.5-*.mpm
Red Hat Network password:
Connecting to http://testbox.example.com/APP
Uploading package RHATrpush-3.1.5-21.sparc-solaris.mpm
Uploading package RHATrpush-3.1.5-23.sparc-solaris.mpm
Note
The following changes have been made to
rhnpush
:
1. Patch cluster
mpm
files must be pushed concurrently with or after the
mpm
files for the patches contained in that cluster (i.e. they cannot be pushed
before).
•
The Channels category of the RHN website has been augmented to accommodate the
storage and installation of native UNIX file types.
8.1.5. Excluded Features
The following RHN features are not available with the UNIX support system:
•
All Provisioning-level functionality, such as kickstarting and package rollback, with the
exception of configuration file management
•
All Errata-related options, since the concept of Errata Updates is not understood in
UNIX
•
Source files for packages
In addition, answer files are not yet supported. Support for such files is planned for a future
release.
