The client packages are going to become available to all server customers as soon as the RHN profiles get updated. That takes some time as it is a major repull of data.
thx for your help Daniel.
Yes thanks to all the RH people on this.. Longterm, there is going to be a mismatch between RHEL and CentOS/Scientific Linux offerings. As in, an EPEL package might need stuff from MultiOS or RHAPS (or whatever its future incarnation is) or etc etc etc. There should be a methodology for dealing with these packages or problems:
1) Should packages be built/included that can work with the lowest common denominator of channel offerings? [EG desktop or whatever is the smallest channel offering?]
2) If not, how do you offer packages that do not 'break' for people. If I do a yum install xyz and it includes something from outside of my 'Desktop' channel ... do I get a 'Dependencies not found. Please pony up more money.' message? Or do I get those dependencies via the .0 method
3) Other issues that my blood sugar cant think of at the moment.
