Figure 3-2. Retrieval/Installation Settings
The following package retrieval options can be selected (see Figure 3-2):
•
Do not install packages after retrieval
— download selected RPM packages to desired
directory and ignore the installation preferences
•
Do not display packages when local configuration file has been modified
— if the con-
figuration file has been modified for a package such as Apache or Squid, do not display
them in the list of available packages. This option is useful if you are installing custom
RPM packages on your system and you do not want them updated or reverted to the
default Red Hat 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 3-2):
•
After installation, keep binary packages on disk
— save binary packages in desired di-
rectory instead of deleting them after installation
•
Use GPG to verify package integrity
— before installing the packages, verify Red Hat’s
GPG signature
The following additional options are configurable from this tab:
•
Override version stored in System Profile
— override the Red Hat Linux version in your
System Profile
•
Package storage directory
— change the directory where packages are downloaded; the
default location is
/var/spool/up2date
3.4. Package Exceptions Settings
The Package Exceptions tab allows you to define which packages to exclude from the list of
updated RPM packages according to the package name or file name (see Figure 3-3).
