RHN Updates
Hi,
Since RedHat has now moved to a community based RHL project, in general
this means no more support. RedHat however will not want to loose this
revenue source, however small it might have been.
I would like to see RedHat enhance the RHN into a subscription based
Package Install / Update / Search system.
Something cross between Synaptic, the Lindows Click2Run and the current
RHN update facility.
I for one would subscribe to such a service, to guarentee that packages
have been properly compiled for a specific release of RHL, and tested.
I also think that the software should allow you to choose from Stable
and Test releases. Allowing a user to decide what they want to install.
Having such a tool would improve the value of the RHN, and provide
RedHat and the community with a means to test packages before the next
Beta ISO is released.
Just my 2 pence worth on the subject.
