Since the up2date utility has become a paid service by
RedHat,
you may use the free apt-get utility instead on RedHat and Trustix.
APT-RPM is a port of Debian's apt tools to a RPM based distribution.
apt-get is an advanced package management utility
front-end to easily perform package installation, upgrading and removal.
Dependencies are automatically handled, so if you try to install a package that needs
others to be installed, it will download all needed packages and install them.
More information on apt-get can be found at
apt.freshrpms.net/ or
apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/.
Prior to updating your OS packages with apt-get, make sure you
exclude specific H-Sphere-related services
from the apt-get configuration.
To exclude these packages,
modify the corresponding part of your /etc/apt/apt.conf file,
similar to this:
// Completely ignore the following packages (not regexp)
// Ignore { };
Ignore { "bind-utils"; };
// Do not try to update the following packages
// Hold { };
Hold {
"rh-postgres*";
"postgresql*";
"apache*";
"proftp*";
"qmail*";
"vpopmail*";
"ezmlm*";
"sendmail*";
"bind*";
"rsync*";
"pspell*";
"aspell*";
"ispell*";
"gettext*";
"XFree86-base-fonts*";
"XFree86-font-utils*";
"XFree86-libs*";
"XFree86-libs-data*";
"XFree86-xfs*";
"XFree86-Xvfb*";
"perl*";
};
