Hi have to configure a RedHat 7.2 server in order to distrubute some rpm on other servers.
I think that i understandd how apt-rpm runs in the client but i don't have any idea on what to do on the master server.
Can u please give me some advices ...

rem: i have to avoid any ftp transfert, only http if possible...

Freshrpms has some info on this. I've never done it so I can't be much more help.

plz help me...

you have to set up a web server on the the server side to use apt, and then add the ip to the /etc/apt/sources.list file on the client(s). then run apt-get update, apt-get install pkg_name.

If it is a small lan then I would just set up nfs and mount the rpm repos and rpm the files in at once. Saves setting up apache for an intranet. Although if this is going to be ongoing you may have the right idea. It is however some work.

Are you rollong your own? b/c if these are standard pkgs you could just use freshrpms repository and not bother with an internal one.

We build our own RPM so we can use freshrpms repository !!!

Your statement is conflictual. If you are building custom pkgs then use the apache process I told you earlier.

ok, I'll try to set up the server before the end of this week.
Thanx for your answer.
