Figure 2-17. Retrieval/Installation Settings
The following package retrieval options can be selected (see Figure 2-17):
•
Do not install packages after retrieval — download selected RPM packages to the
desired directory and ignore the installation preferences
•
Do not upgrade packages when local configuration file has been modified — if the
configuration file has been modified for a package such as
apache
or
squid
, do not
attempt to upgrade it. This option is useful if you are installing custom RPMs on your
system and you do not want them updated or reverted to the default Red Hat Enterprise
Linux packages.
•
Retrieve source RPM along with binary package — download both the source
(
*.src.rpm
) and the binary (
*.[architecture].rpm
) files
The following installation options are configurable (see Figure 2-17):
•
Use GPG to verify package integrity — before installing packages, verify Red Hat’s
GPG signature (highly recommended for security reasons)
•
After installation, keep binary packages on disk — save binary packages in the de-
sired directory instead of deleting them after installation
The following additional options are configurable from this tab:
