RHEL havoc tool
by Dag Wieers 12 May '06

12 May '06

Hi, I'm looking for a tool that breaks a working system (in one or more ways) with the sole purpose to fix it again. The aim would be to use this tool for several debugging techniques sessions in our local LUG. When I was invited to speak at a local LUG I was wondering what was the best way to demonstrate some of the tools (and more importantly) the way to tackle a problem. And nothing would be better than not knowing what is wrong so attendants can follow my reasoning in trying to fix a problem. I heard from someone who followed the RHCE exams, that they use such a tool to test the knowledge and it would be nice to have something like that in Open Source, if it does not already exist. Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

Yum priorities plugin
by Daniel de Kok 12 May '06

12 May '06

Hi All, I have put the priorities plugin online at: http://danieldk.org/code/yum/ This plugin allows you to associate priorities to repositories. Packages from high-priority repositories are protected from being upgraded with packages from low-priority repositories. Instructions can be found in the README file, read the part about "check_obsoletes" with care. Please keep in mind that this is mostly untested and thus beta code. Have fun! -- Daniel
