SUBJECT:?[CentOS] Tracking updates
FROM: ?Martin Spinassi 
TO:?"CentOS mailing list"

Hi all,

I don't know if exists what I'm searching for, or just making the
wrong
questions to google.

I'm searching some kind of tracking system to software updates. If
one
server is administrated by more than 2 persons, having control of
what
updates have been installed, and what version of that application is
running after the update. 
Making manual documentation is ok for one server, but doing this for
several servers is a big amount of time, and relies on the admin to
have
the time to do so, but automating this would be great.

I someone doing something to have track of the updates? 
Any recommendation?

Cheers,

Mart?n

Thanks for your suggestions Per.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell by surfing the sites,
they are applications to admin servers, you can use it to install new
packages/updates, but it doesn't have a tracking system to let you know
what was the previous version, and when it was updated.
If I'm wrong, please let me know it.


Cheers
