Hello.

I'm wondering how people recommend to keep track of / making sure third party 
software is kept up to date. Let's say you have >10 servers running RHEL6, and 
you have to install some third party RPMs on some of these servers as well as 
upgrading it every now and then (Oracle Java? vmware tools? Other software that 
doesn't have any official repository...).

How do you keep yourself on top of this? Do you set up your own repository with 
those RPMs and add a yum repo file on the servers so it will show up when you 
do a "yum update"? Do you install the RPM manually and hope you will remember 
about it? Do you import it into your Satellite server and add it to your 
channels? Recipe in Puppet? Or some other way? What works for you?

(my question isn't "How do I know that a new version of Java has been 
released?")


Regards
Eivind Olsen
