Dear List,
I'm trying to set up a lab with multiple workstations running CentOS 5. Does anybody knows how to keep the packages in sync among workstations? Ideally I want any change made on any machine be able to applied to all other machines. Alternatively, to "push" the changes (add and/or remove packages) from one central server to all other machine is also fine.
create your own inhouse yum repo, put the packages you want to update on that server, and have the workstations do a nightly `yum update` (after, of course, being configured to use your repo instead of the default internet centos repo)
Or sync everything/relevant tree from a local mirror to run a local Centos (Centos x) repo and then setup another repo for your own packages.
