1.1. Configuring and Using the RHN Package Manager

Before you can use RHN Package Manager to upload packages into RHN, you need to first

manually copy the packages to the Proxy server itself. For example, from a development host

you can use scp:

When using RHN Package Manager to upload the packages into Red Hat Network, point at the

files you previously copied to the server.

Tip

Create at least one private channel to receive custom packages prior to upload

into Red Hat Network, since a channel is required for systems to obtain the

packages.

The following command uploads the package headers to the RHN Servers and copies the

packages to the RHN Proxy Server repository:

rhn_package_manager -c label_of_private_channelpkg-list

The label_of_private_channel is the custom channel created to receive these packages. Be

sure you use the precise channel label specified during its creation. If you have one or more

channels specified (using -c or --channel), the uploaded package headers are linked to all the

channels identified. If you do not specify a channel, the packages are deposited in the No

Channels section of the Package Management page. Refer to Section 6, “Assigning Packages

to Software Channels” for instructions on reassigning packages.

The pkg-list reference represents the list of packages to be uploaded. These packages must

already be physically copied to the Proxy host. Alternatively, use the -d option to specify the

local directory that contains the packages to be added to the channel. RHN Package Manager

can also read the list of packages from standard input (using --stdin).

Other options are specified in a configuration file, such as the Red Hat Network Server URL, the

HTTP proxy username and password (if your HTTP proxy requires authentication), and the top

directory where packages live. This special configuration must not be edited and is located at

/etc/rhn/default/rhn_proxy_package_manager.conf. You can override the choices in that

default configuration file with settings in the main configuration file /etc/rhn/rhn.conf or via

command line options passed to RHN Package Manager.

Parameters not set in this file are read from .rhn_package_manager in the home directory of

the user currently logged in and finally from /etc/rhn/rhn_package_manager.conf. Make sure

all of these files have the appropriate permissions to prevent others from reading them.
