I finally gained access to the documentation for RHEL for a dedicated-hosting RHEL server I work on.
But I find it hard to figure out where to go in there to find much of anything. And google doesn't seem to index what it is I need, maybe because of the paywall?
I'm trying to figure out 2 things:
1. How can I tell what is the latest rpm/version RH has put out for httpd? I'm talking stock RHEL-supplied, not IUS/EPEL or whatever 3rd party. I know in Fedora this would be simple with bodhi/koji and/or simple rpmfind.
2. How can I tell if my RHEL box is setup to receive updates? Dnf works to install packages, but no updates seem to be coming across? I'm a bit worried because of the recent not-so-great apache/httpd bugs. I know RH has all this subscription stuff I normally don't have to mess with with Fedora, and I like to think the dedicated hoster set this all up properly, but I'm not sure how to tell.
Thanks!
You can sign up for a developer account and get access to most resources for free. Renewing it is kinda painful though, I have to waste a few hours figuring it out every time I need to.
Use the RH search bar in the website, it's...... at least barely functional, usually.
You can to go trawling through their metadata service I think. There used to be a web UI for that, but I haven't seen it in years. Might have to use the so-called "API".
RHEL yum/dnf/subscription-manager config took it's inspiration from Perl: write-only config. Please report back if you figure it out.
