| Hi, Fernando,
I'm excited to try this out.
We have RHN Satellite, and we upload our internal RPMS to that. The RHN
Satellite then pushes our software to our various server farms. I think
we have somewhere around 100-200 RHEL servers grabbing software updates
from that RHN Satellite.
So we've found RPM to be a great way to deploy our software (always
webapps) to hundreds of machines. But we've had little control over the
jars that developers throw into "WEB-INF/lib". It would be great to
have as many of those jars as possible coming from the RHEL/JPackage
subscription!!!!
By the way, just a note to everyone at JPackage: you guys really saved
us with your JVM and Tomcat RPMS about 3 years ago! They were such a
seamless fit with our infrastructure. Very high quality stuff, in my
opinion.
yours,
Julius
