RedHat Questions about running local YUM server
Im building a local yum server to update a handful of RHEL6 and RHEL7 servers, I'll be sharing out these updates via a local http webserver but I have a few questions.

1) it seem I am only able to download RHEL6 patches from a RHEL6 box and 7 patches from a 7 box which would mean I would have to dedicate 2 target servers for yum, this seems like a waste. My question is can I just setup a RHEL 7 box to download both 6 and 7 patches and server them from /rh6 and /rh7 directories on the webserver?


2) on a few of my servers even though /etc/yum.repos.d only contain files that point to my local repo, some of my boxes still reach out to the internet and pull stuff from "@rhel-6-server-rpms". Once it does this it will put an empty file called redhat.repo back in /etc/yum.repos.d is there anyway to prevent this? I've tried disabling that repo but that didnt work.

Any other tips you can share about running a local YUM to centralize your patching?

yum-versionlock

YUM-VERSIONLOCK(1)						   User Manuals 						YUM-VERSIONLOCK(1)

NAME

       yum-versionlock - Version lock rpm packages

SYNOPSIS

       yum-versionlock [ package-name [ package-name]] ...

DESCRIPTION

       yum-versionlock(1)  is  a  Yum  plugin  that  takes  a  set of name/versions for packages and excludes all other versions of those packages
       (including optionally following obsoletes).  This allows you to protect packages from being updated by newer versions.

       The plugin provides a command "versionlock" which allows you to view and edit the list of locked packages easily.
	yum versionlock add <package-wildcard>...

       Add a versionlock for all of the packages in the rpmdb matching the given wildcards.   yum versionlock exclude <package-wildcard>...

       Add a exclude (within versionlock) for the latest versions of the packages in the available repos. matching the given wildcards.   yum ver-
       sionlock list

       List the current versionlock entries.   yum versionlock delete <entry-wildcard>...

       Remove any matching versionlock entries.   yum versionlock clear

       Remove all versionlock entries.

FILES

       /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
	      The system wide configuration file. See yum-versionlock.conf(5) for more information.
       /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list
	      The default place to put package version lock information (one package and version per. line). The file takes entries in the follow-
	      ing format EPOCH:NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH See rpm(8) for more information on custom query formats. If the package does not have	an
	      EPOCH the number will default to 0.

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.

       yum-versionlock is available via:
       # yum install yum-versionlock
