Hello Jaume, and sorry for directing this to you! but seems that you are one of the most experienced users/techs over here.

I want to do a up2date on my rhelES3/PleskReloaded server

just wondering how, and what and "how" to exclude it.

there is any Steep by steep how-to ?

best regards,

You can update all Up2date packages ... just exclude spamassassin from the list. You can exclude packages from up2date entering them on the skip list:

up2date --configure

Then look on the list for the setting for pkgSkipList, type the number corresponding to the option (9) and you'll be editing it. Then just type spamassassin* and Return key. Will look like this:

9. pkgSkipList ['spamassassin*']

Make sure option 25 looks like this:
25. pkgsToInstallNotUp ['kernel', 'kernel-modules']

Also clear option 31
31. removeSkipList []

Then just run up2date -u and up2date will download and install all ropm packages.

Note that if any kernel rpm is installed you need to modify your /etc/grub.conf (or lilo if using it) to boot the new kernel.

and also i guess i will have to skip all my custom rpm packages?

like the Atomic Rocket Turtle ones?

php mysql ?

best regards, and thanks jaume for the help

Enter number of item to edit :
=======================

En el punto 8 es donde defines que paquetes rpm no quieres que up2date te instale. ejale ahi solamente el spamassassin y cualquier otro paquete rpm que no quieres que te actualice:

8. pkgSkipList ['spamassassin*']

En principio no has de excluir ningún otro paquete a no ser que no desees que uno se actualice en particular. Up2date solo gestiona paquetes mantenidos por redhat (php y mysql entre ellos) por lo que no interfiere en paquetes custom o que hayas instalado al margen de redhat.

Tienes un foro en español para la proxima vez ... por si no se te da bien el inglés;)

moved my question to an spanish forum.

thanks a lot.
