Hi all,

I am working on a project that sets up packages on the cloud.

For example, If i want to setup Drupal, i need seperate machines to maintain separate tasks,
like mysql in one machine(cloud instance/node 1), apache server in another machine(cloud instance/node 2), etc.

So if drupal.rpm has dependencies apache.rpm(has deps too) and mysql.rpm(has deps too)

Is it possible in rpm package manager(yum) to handle such customizations & above requirement?

please suggest any other package manager/tool/way to implement the same.

Not a problem...
Of course, this depends on your depositories list, and\or list of package managers. The biggest issue with Yum is that I can set up a server with one of my old boxes and offer .rpm packages. I can set up a web site and convince you to add it to your repositories list, and have you inject my malicious code....into your system.

Could you explain me on the technical implementation side?

Hi,

You can Install RPM packages Directly from Web/Internet Repository by adding the repository in your yum.conf file. so this is the best way for centralize Package management

.. And say you have 'drupal.rpm' locally, yum localinstall can be used.

# yum --nogpgcheck localinstall drupal.rpm

.. then yum will fetch all dependencies from the repos.
