I need to be able to run installs against a mirror, weeks and months apart and arrive at the same payload installed exactly.
again, this maybe just a case of publishing a 2nd set of metadata rather than retain the base rpm set, but we need to retain this functionality.
Wouldn't pinning versions be better here if that's what you need? If you took that same kickstart over to a RHEL machine, you'd get the updates over there.
no, you would get a point release ( same as media .. ) if you wanted to. I want to make sure we dont lose that ability in CentOS, so were going to need to do this.
Seems to me like delivering the updates separately goes against our community recommendations anyways (i.e. the first thing we say in irc is "did you run yum/dnf update?").
we dont however, ask people to install arbitary untested trees.
Help me qualify the concern in an extra set of metadata to match point release media ?
