How EUS (Extended Update Support) label names are formed or named ...?

Latest response

Hi there,

I trying to integrate a BMC Bladelogic for Server Automation with RHN to be able to create patch catalogues base on EUS (Extended Update Support) which it seems are are not natively supported by the product. So that, I would like to know the EUS channel names are formed to be referenced

For instance if the channel label for RHEL 6.4 is called...

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6 for 64-bit x86_64) rhel-x86_64-server-6 RHES6 x86_64

... how would it be for RHEL 6.4 EUS...?? Anything like " rhel-x86_64-server-6-eus" or something like that?

Attached the channel names and their labels I am able to see...

Sincerely.

Hi Enrique,

One of the ways to find out which channels are currently supported is to have a look at the latest tzdata advisory. At present, it's https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2015-1863.html, and it mentions Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AUS (v. 6.4) (6.4 is now in the AUS support type, not EUS).

As for the channel names, the format is base_channel.y_stream.support_type; however, in the case of EUS, support_type is z. Examples: rhel-x86_64-server-6.4.aus or rhel-i386-server-6.6.z.

Regards,
Radek
