I have a RHN account and a subscription to the RHEL3ES channel. I
want to download the available update RPMs via wget on a nightly
basis (not using up2date). <br > <br >
My internal R&D machines (various flavors of Linux) are firewalled
from external (internet) access. I have a separate machine that
lives on edge of my network that scans for new RPMs on several different
sites. It downloads them and makes them available internally via an
NFS mount. <br > <br >
So, since I have an RHN account name and password that can be used for
authentication purposes I should be able to use wget to retrieve the RPMs
for the channels I am subscribed to under HTTPS. <br > <br >
The goal is to be able to do this automatically (via cron) at night from
a server which is not the target machine for the update RPMs.
Something like this: <br > <br >
wget -c -N
<a href= "https://user:password@(protected)/download/rhn/private/rhel3-rhdb/i386/RPMS/*.rpm " eudora= "autourl " >https://user:password@(protected)/download/rhn/private/rhel3-rhdb/i386/RPMS/*.rpm <br > <br >
</a >Can we get this to work? I can always write a
perl/python/php script spider/robot to traverse the RHN web site
and do this work, but I was hoping for a simple, community friendly,
mechanism. What say you? <br >
