I have just released an updated version of rhn_applet which
should work better for the Fedora framework:
- handle Yum repositories
- handle multiple repositories
- does not require RHN registration
You can find it at:
http://people.redhat.com/~veillard/testing/yum/rhn-applet/2.1.0/
the Yum/Fedora repository for it is:
http://people.redhat.com/~veillard/testing/yum/rhn-applet/
It uses the same configuration file as up2date, i.e.
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
Features:
- do some caching on the client see ~/.rhn-applet/*.yum
- tries to limit the load on servers to a minimal amount
- the applet does not need to be restarted if sources are
added or removed from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
- should be able to handle HTTPS connections
TODO:
- HTTP(S) proxy support (easy)
- FTP support
- better error reporting when source are unavailable
Feedback welcome,
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
It works for me. Nice that the update applet now finally tells you when
there are updates :-) One minor remark up2date tells me that all the
files of the update are 0kB. Is this due to yum or is there a bug??
