I have one RHEL3 box that due to third party requirements, needs to run
Apache 1.3. In order to do this, I grabbed the RHEL 2.1 apache and
mod_ssl SRPMS and rebuilt them on RHEL3. This is working beautifully.
To keep up2date from reinstalling apache 2.0 RPMS I have this in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date:
pkgSkipList=httpd*;apache*;mod_ssl*;
this keeps up2date from actually installing the new packages, however
RHN (I have a managed subscription) constantly shows the Errata for
httpd and shows the system as needing attention. There does not seem to
be a way of telling RHN to ignore those errata for that box. Any ideas
on how to get around this? One possibility I've considered is modifying
the .spec files for the 2.1AS RPMS in order to prevent RHN from seeing
them as apache or httpd RPMS but I'm not quite sure how to do this. Any
thoughts? I of course realize this is well out of the bounds of RedHat
support which is why I'm posting here instead of placing a support call :-)
