Oracle

While I was over on Sergio’s blog looking at the oracle-validated-rpm from a comment by Avi on my last blog entry, I saw another post that I think needs more publicity

New Oracle Public Yum Server

If you’re like me and have a bunch of machines that you muck around on and don’t want to clutter up your ULN Systems page with servers you don’t care about keeping up-to-date on security/bug fixes, why not take advantage of Oracle’s newly released (OK, march 2009 but still…) public yum server.

Fantastically easy. Just go here to get started.

My Oracle Beehive test server I’ve just done the cheat sheet on was OEL 5.1, purely because I didn’t have a DVD of the latest 5.3 OEL (I know, I’m slack…) But, now, thanks to this public-yum server and the simplest of commands:

# yum upgrade

I’m now running Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 (Carthage).

(FYI, for those following the cheat sheet from the other post, I had to rerun the SELinux text relocation mod after the upgrade.)
