Sure the online update and patch is more
convenient and easier, it will save a lot of
time. I want to know is it possible to build an
update server by myself, say for example, I have
one server has the account and be able to get all
the updated RPM files, and the other servers
without the license just copy the RPM files from
the server, without connecting to the website, is this possible or popular?
Thanks a lot!
