Uploading Packages to RHN Satellite ServerThe RHN Push application allows you to serve custom packages associated with a privateRHN channel through the RHN Satellite Server. If you want the RHN Satellite Server toserve only official Red Hat Enterprise Linux packages, you do not need to install RHNPush.To use RHN Push, install the rhnpush package and its dependencies. This package isavailable to registered RHN Satellite Server systems and is installed by running up2daterhnpush.RHN Push uploads RPM header information to the RHN Satellite Server database andplaces the RPM in the RHN Satellite Server package repository. Unlike the RHN ProxyServer’s RHN Package Manager, RHN Push never distributes package information, eventhe headers, beyond the RHN Satellite Server database.TipIf your Satellite installation is enabled to support Solaris OS systems, you may use RHNPush from a Solaris client to upload Solaris package content to custom Solaris channels.
