6.2. Uploading Packages to RHN Satellite Server
The RHN Push application allows you to serve custom packages associated with a private
RHN channel through the RHN Satellite Server. If you want the RHN Satellite Server to
serve only official Red Hat Enterprise Linux packages, you do not need to install RHN
Push.
To use RHN Push, install the rhnpush package and its dependencies. This package is
available to registered RHN Satellite Server systems and is installed by running up2date
rhnpush.
RHN Push uploads RPM header information to the RHN Satellite Server database and
places the RPM in the RHN Satellite Server package repository. Unlike the RHN Proxy
Server’s RHN Package Manager, RHN Push never distributes package information, even
the headers, beyond the RHN Satellite Server database.
Tip
If your Satellite installation is enabled to support Solaris OS systems, you may use RHN
Push from a Solaris client to upload Solaris package content to custom Solaris channels.
