Hello,
I plan to recheck SuSE's security updates before installing them on the machines. "Normal" packages are easy. I just imitate an update mirror with just links in it. If a link exists the corresponding patch will be installed. This way I can use SuSE's online_update.
Kernel updates on the other hand should just be installed when the system is going down. Furthermore I want the last working kernel not to be deinstalled when the new kernel is being installed. "rpm -i" would do this for me so I have vmlinuz (new kernel) and vmlinuz.previous (last working kernel) later on.
Does anyone have such a system installed at his/her site? Otherwise there is some work to do for me... Can you give me some advises on the implementation?
you ever looked at http://fou4s.gaugusch.at ?
