##Overview

This module manages the installation and configuration of yumupdatesd on rhel variant OSes.

##Module Description

yum-updatesd makes it a little easier to manage a herd of rhel/centos boxes by emailing you, or automatically notifying you when packages are updated.

##Setup

###What yumupdatesd affects

  • Files
    • /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf
  • Package
    • yum-updatesd
  • Service
    • yum-updatesd
  • Miscellaneous:
    • an RHEL/CentOS 6 RPM is contained in the files section of this module

###Setup Requirements OPTIONAL

If your module requires anything before setting up (pluginsync enabled, etc.) this is where you mention it.

###Beginning with yumupdatesd

  • Configure an smtp server that your systems can send mail to.
  • Configure the following parameters:
    • emit_via
    • email_from
    • email_to
    • smtp_server

##Usage

####Invocation methods:

  • Update the parameters either via puppet3 data bindings
  • Use a profile module like the one included in the example directory.
  • Declare the class directly and provide custom values at that time.
  • Alter the module's default values.

##Reference

##Limitations

yum-updatesd is not natively supported on rhel/cent6 hosts. There is a repackaged RPM from fc15 in the files of this module. The package was built from this source: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/yum-updatesd/0.9/4.fc15/src/

##Development

##Release Notes/Contributors/Etc Optional
