Full Discussion: yum is not installed on all servers. Why?
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat yum is not installed on all servers. Why? Post 302664515 by Perderabo on Friday 29th of June 2012 05:04:17 PM

We do not install yum on servers. We have a tested and approved build. We want that build and only that build installed on our servers. And we want all servers to have the same build. There is no repository available to our servers and without a repository yum is mostly useless. We do install rpm (the program). And once in a while we are forced to install a new rpm on all of the servers.

We have a RedHat 5 Server build, a RedHat 6 Server Build, and so on. We have just finished upgrading everything to RedHat 6. Once RedHat 7 hits the streets, we will test it and develop a standard build for RedHat 7. And then we will go around and update all of our servers again.

Some of these systems are on isolated networks. Some are in scif's. Most are behind firewall on our general internal network. 6 are on the Internet as DNS and NTP servers.

I agree with the general philosophy of this. I would install yum anyway. I do fight for more of the OS to be installed with each update. We have no telnet client installed! I don't like telnet, but the client is useful for troubleshooting. This is my current fight. However yum is pretty far down on the list.

Why are you guys so freaked out over the loss of yum?

yum-debug-restore

yum-debug-restore(1)													      yum-debug-restore(1)

NAME

       yum-debug-restore - replay Yum transactions captured in a debug-dump file

SYNOPSIS

       yum-debug-restore

DESCRIPTION

       yum-debug-restore  is  a  program which takes a gzipped file created by yum-debug-dump and acts on the information about installed packages
       contained within.

GENERAL OPTIONS

       --output
	      Output the commands that would be run to stdout.

       --shell=<file>
	      Output the commands that would be run to a file.

       --install-latest
	      Ask yum to install the latest version of the given packages, instead of the version that was installed in the debug-dump file.

       --ignore-arch
	      Ignore the architecture of the packages, so you can "restore" an i386 debug-dump on an x86_64 machine.

       --filter-types=[install,remove,update,downgrade]
	      Only perform the given types of commands, so you can filter to just upgrades and installs.

FILES

       As yum-debug-restore uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration  for	its  default  values  like
       which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum-debug-dump (1)
       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
