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.)

Hey Gavin,
I have another tip for you: if you do have a CSI, but are not running Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control (and thus do not have the Linux Management Pack active), why not create your own local YUM repository:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html
I have this setup, so that I have a single ULN registered YUM server that keeps itself nicely up-to-date by running the rep_populate.sh script on a daily basis. Thus, I have a local YUM repository that I can use for my VM guests, which are created and destroyed way too often to register!
