Hi guys,
Wonder if someone can confirm that in EL6 : <any varient> + <optionals> = entire distro tree.
eg. does <server> + <optional> get you the entire tree; and is that the same as <desktop> + <optional> and <workstation> + <optional>
or are there packages specific to a variant and not available to any other variant ? I'm using 'variant' to broadly imply 'product'.

I can confirm that this is not the case. There are some packages that are only in one variant or another. I don't have the details right now but could get them for you.

The Server + all additional channels (fasttrack, optional, optional-fasttrack, rhn-tools, supplementary, updates) will give you all of the packages that exist in client and workstation with the exception of the release package. However client is missing 440 packages that are in server and workstation is missing 40 packages (appear to be all cluster related) that are in server.
If you need more information than this please let me know.

this helps. I suspect those 440 rpms are from ComputeNode, Scaleable Storage etc.
The larger problem I am trying to solve is being able to get a snapshot in time for the optional repos. from what I can tell, they seem to be out of sync amongst varients for code content that is shared amongst each other ( totally wtf! ) - the problem that it creates for *me* is that I cant workout what was the state of optionals when package Foo was built. Add another dimension to this : cant easily workout what the state of optionals was when a point release gets out of the door, making it even harder to get rpm manifests for 6.1 and so on.
thanks for looking into this stuff,

Shad is correct. For example, the "load balancer add-on" has the piranha packages in it. If you don't have that option, you don't have access to them.

Not sure what you mean by 'that option', is it not already there on the server media and therefore in the server channel on rhn ?
