Re: rpm deployment

[Vineet Mehta <vineet () linux com kw>]

u can use rpm API's to develop an app to contact the remote servers for
rpm installation/upgradation. but still u need to open a port for
communication between them.  (i did this long time back)

i dont know if there is ready made OSS for that. 

the second way is to have a RHN proxy server installed locally and all
your remote machines can use this server for updation.
