RPM deployment tool
 

Hello,

We have a bunch of RHEL 4 & 5 (x86 & x86-64) servers and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good package deployment tool. This tool should ideally provide server grouping facilities so that we could deploy RPMs to a group of servers on a per need basis. I'm aware of up2date and yum and their dependency resolution capabilities but I was wondering if there is any tool out there with similar capabilities. If not, I would be interested in knowing of any alternatives.

I apologize if a question similar to this one was posed in another thread that I may have inadvertently missed out.

Thanks,

You might want to look into Redhat's Satellite server.

jilightner is right...also if you want to try out Red Hat's Satellite server before you buy; you can take a look at Spacewalk...

Spacewalk is the "free" version...

Thank you both for the quick response. I definitely will give Spacewalk a try.
