All the rug/RedCarpet/rcd combination does, basically, is package addition and removal, including dependancy resolution. If the optional rcd-modules package has been loaded, it is also possible to run scripts and gather some information about the client systems from ZLM/Red Carpet server. With or without the rcd-modules package, rcd listens on port 505 and communicates with the remote server using XML-RPC over an SSL-encrypted session. By contrast, YaST and yum do not leave anything running when they are not actually being used.
Randy,
thanks a lot for all information about RC.
Has anyone tried open-carpet from: http://open-carpet.org/? What are the differeneces and the pros and cons compared to RC?
No difference. Open-carpet is a collection of "services" that you can add to the red-carpet client. It's like a collection of apt-sources for apt. So, in other words, If you install red-carpet you can access the opencarpet services. You can also use the software "open-carpet" to set up your own services (with your own channels) Regards, Erik
