I have already 6 Centos machines here and it is getting strange having to pull down updates to each system.
Seems like I should set up one system to pull updates and then all other systems to point to it.
How?
Plus then I would want to add to this repository.
Say that a number of my systems use tomcat which is only available via rpm. I would like to be able to add it to my repository, and if even manually, to keep it current. This way, when I build a new system, after the build I would do a yum update (from my server), then a yum install of all of the extras that particular system needs.
Yam, available from DAG, would get you started faily easily increating an internal repository for yourself. I believe that there is a createrepo or repobuild for creating your customized repository for self created rpms or rpms that do nat reside in any repositiry.
