Fedora Server Folks, I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this but I think my goals match the Fedora Server SIG goals fairly well. I've been a member of the list server for a while now but it's not very busy. Anyway let's get down to business.
My goal is 100% RPM install for applications. My company is mostly there but there are a few issues that are caused by the distribution that's why I'm here.
Internal yum repo. We use an internal yum repo so that all of our server don't have to go out to the internet BUT the fedora-release RPM is causing issues. 1) /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora*.repo files cannot be removed or better yet never installed. 2) /etc/yum.repos.d is provided by fedora-release instead of filesystem or yum itself.
chrony - It looks like I'm going to like chrony better than ntp BUT. 1) I'd like a way to specify our internal servers in a /etc/chrony.d/ like configurations instead of editing /etc/chrony.conf
httpd-on, couchdb-on, etc... 1) doesn't every body need these too? Why can't this just be part of Fedora?
oracle-instantclient11.2-basic 1) Can we get the wrapper stuff from spacewalk as part of some Fedora-But repo.
I await your comments.
Thanks, Mike

This sort of customization you'll need to do on your end, with a config RPM, cfengine, puppet, etc.
chrony - It looks like I'm going to like chrony better than ntp BUT. 1) I'd like a way to specify our internal servers in a /etc/chrony.d/ like configurations instead of editing /etc/chrony.conf
See above.
httpd-on, couchdb-on, etc... 1) doesn't every body need these too? Why can't this just be part of Fedora?
If you're referring to having these enabled by default, set that in your kickstart with chkconfig. If not, please clarify.

Not Free/OSS software, can't be in Fedora. If you're already running your own internal-only repo, you can put this there and include in your kickstart.

If you need to keep the main config static you can use "include /etc/chrony.servers" and keep the local modifications there.
You can also have a NM dispatcher script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d (or a dhclient script in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d) which will add the local servers via chronyc.
The default configuration adds the NTP servers advertised in DHCP lease automatically.
