If complete, I enable the channel or force an update using --enablerepo=my_sr1<br /><br />I just have to experiment with hard/soft copies or symlinks so I don't dublicate whole channels and waste GBs of storage. ;)Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824087496822119504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916935771983413186.post-65478483848504372462008-06-12T09:57:00.000-07:002008-06-12T09:57:00.000-07:00I don't know much about rpath, but it seems like a...I don't know much about rpath, but it seems like a great approach for a virtualized datacenter if you have some money to spend on licenses. I haven't seen a great open-source solution yet, though I think there are a few out there.Mike Meridethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17459454552518473909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916935771983413186.post-81427264561689778222008-06-11T21:03:00.000-07:002008-06-11T21:03:00.000-07:00Mike, Good post.

It is a similar concept - combining scm functionality with disto creation/maintenance.pieratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777508833441948234noreply@blogger.com
