Chapter 16. Upgrading RHUI

Red Hat recommends that you keep RHUI up to date. Only the latest released version is supported. See the list of released advisories on the Red Hat Update Infrastructure product page.

For information on how to keep RHUI up to date, see Upgrading Red Hat Update Infrastructure.

If you modify the rhui-tools.conf file after RHUI installation, these changes will be reset to default when you update RHUI.

To ensure your changes persist after an upgrade, create the /root/.rhui/rhui-tools-custom.conf file. Any sections specified in this file will override the default configuration.

Example: Custom Synchronization Policies

The following example demonstrates how to define custom synchronization policies in /root/.rhui/rhui-tools-custom.conf: 

[rhui]
# The sync policy can be either "immediate" or "on_demand"
default_sync_policy: on_demand
