Other systems may still be subscribed to the Q1 patches and updates.

Let’s say you want to deploy this critical bug fix asap – even though it is out of step with your quarterly patching cycle. You have a system that is subscribed to a channel tree that is frozen in time, for example a system is subscribed to your Q2 patches. You’re not ready to update everything yet but you do want this one critical bug fix patch (and any dependencies) to be made available to this system. > > > > How do you go about handling this type of situation? > > > > Thanks, > > > > Larry > > > > Larry Clegg > > HD Supply San Diego > > EMail: <a href="mailto:Larry.Clegg@HDSupply.com">Larry.Clegg@HDSupply.com</a> > > _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.redhat.com_mailman_listinfo_spacewalk-2Dlist&d=BQMFaQ&c=_8VcuiJ--MukFqz6Sy5gel64o52_IbhiNdatg8Zb5Gs&r=b7IEz3ofaK6POXcDGRHJcwu-GqbKHox-4tfx-bQLxLo&m=XpReij2FoqEa1j1MfTuHUx0ivBZ6R4_ANVzlgnaGQG0&s=uqKFaivZ1QhNeOkL0WjbKkozP2kc6xdNJ5yXArsD-n8&e=" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a><o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
