Chapter 4. Custom Channel and Package Management 17

4.4. Manage Software Packages

In addition to adding and removing packages within channels, you also have the option

of deleting packages entirely from both the database and ﬁle system. Removal from the

ﬁle system is delayed by about one hour. This can be done through the Software Package

Management page, accessed by clicking Manage Software Packages on the left naviga-

tion bar.

Warning

Although deleting packages from the database can be undone by uploading them again,

they lose their association with any errata. Upon reloading, they must be re-associated

with errata manually. Refer to Chapter 5 Custom Errata Management for instructions.

To remove packages from the database, in the Software Package Management page,

select an option containing them from the View dropdown menu and click View. Then

select the appropriate checkboxes and click Delete Packages. A conﬁrmation page appears

with the packages listed. Click Conﬁrm to delete the packages entirely.

Since the actual packages are stored on the RHN Proxy Server, its custom packages cannot

be downloaded through the RHN website, although they are listed. They must be retrieved

by the client system using up2date. Since the RHN Satellite Server provides its own

website, its custom packages are accessible via HTTP or Red Hat Update Agent. To

obtain custom packages, the client system must be subscribed to the channel containing

the packages.

4.5. Creating a Software Channel

Before uploading packages to the server, a custom channel can be created to house

them. Refer to Chapter 6 Uploading and Maintaining Custom Packages for instructions.

Once uploaded, packages may be reassigned through the website, as described in

Section 4.6 Assigning Packages to Software Channels.

Channels are created on the Red Hat Network website as follows:

1. Log in to the Red Hat Network website as a Channel Administrator.

2. On the top navigation bar, click the Channels tab and then click the Manage Soft-

ware Channels button on the left navigation bar.

3. On the Software Channel Management page, click create new software chan-

nel at the top-right corner. RHN Satellite Server administrators are presented with

the option to clone channel. Refer to Section 4.7 Cloning Software Channels for in-

structions.
