Hi,
I'm trying to setup a web page to describe to users how to apply patches
off my mirror site. The problem is, I don't want them to install all
the packages just a selected few. Idealy, I would like to be able to
issue a command like this
rpm -Uhv *.rpm --exclude-from-update-list *kernel*
The idea is that I don't want anyone to apply a kernel patch blindly since
there are several steps needed for a kernel patch to be applied. Is the
above command possible? (i.e. is there an equivalent --exclude-from-update-list
qualifier I can used with the rpm command to "filter out" any packages
with the string "kernel" in the path name?) Or do I have to issue the
rpm command one at a time, once for each patch. This would make applying
patches more difficult for the common joe user.
If you do reply to this message, please send a copy to adler@bnl.gov since
I don't sign up to redhat-list@bnl.gov.
Thanks.
Steve.
