In my case, there are dedicated yum repository servers which contain enough packages for fresh install, update and patching. Some packages can be installed without any additional approval process and some are only available through a change request. These servers are highly logged for each package transaction. This is same for Solaris IPS repository servers in our network as well.

Advantage of having package management system is that you do not have to carry around the package (along with numerous dependencies) by FTP/SCP-ing every time you need them to be installed. Of course, the packages available in the repository have to be selected carefully.

We have no telnet client installed! I don't like telnet, but the client is useful for troubleshooting.
Very true especially when you need to be sure if certain port is open on a remote box and you do not have access to nmap.

NAME
yum-complete-transaction - attempt to complete failed or aborted Yum transactions SYNOPSIS
yum-complete-transaction [options] GENERAL OPTIONS
-h, --help Help; display a help message and then quit. --cleanup-only Only clean up only transaction journal files and exit. DESCRIPTION
yum-complete-transaction is a program which finds incomplete or aborted yum transactions on a system and attempts to complete them. It looks at the transaction-all* and transaction-done* files which can normally be found in /var/lib/yum if a yum transaction aborted in the middle of execution. If it finds more than one unfinished transaction it will attempt to complete the most recent one first. You can run it more than once to clean up all unfinished transactions. FILES
As yum-complete-transaction 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.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. Seth Vidal 10 December 2007 yum-complete-transaction(8)
