similar to: yum-updatesd.conf on centos 5

Dear Srs, yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 appears that it's not working on freshly installed CentOS 5.2, using: # rpm -qa "yum*" yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5 yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 yum-fastestmirror-1.1.10-9.el5.centos I see some bugs ([1], [2] and [3]) in the bug tracker, and more info related to other distros like Fedora, etc.. with the same problem.

I have a couple of CentOS 5.1 boxes, mostly i386, but a couple x86_64, some real, some virtual. On all of them, I have yum-updatesd configured to emit via email to root. Here is a sample yum-updatesd.conf from one of them: [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 14400 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send

Hello, we have enabled yum-updatesd on our dozen real and virtual machines running CentOS 5.2 some time ago and are very satisfied: afarber at ablsw01:~> grep -v ^# /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf [main] run_interval = 7200 updaterefresh = 1200 emit_via = email dbus_listener = no do_update = yes do_download = yes do_download_deps = yes (it would be good to make it use the proxy though...) My

I recently enabled yum-updatesd on two identical servers and configured it to notify me of updates via e-mail. This worked fine to start with and it notified me on both machines when the kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.x86_64.rpm update was released last week. However, today I realised that yum-updatesd was not running and thought it was due to rebooting after the kernel update and that I'd

Hi, I've just startted configuring yum-updatesd on all our servers to install updates automatically and it works great. But I don't see anywhere in its config or command line options a way to find which package version was replaced by which. Is this achieveable in any way or should I resort to some home-grown scripting again? Thanks. -Amos

Back in the Fedora docs I found on a google, it mentions that in FC6, the preferred tool for updates was the "new" yum-updatesd. Anyone know: a) what theological reason upstream had to drop it altogether, and b) what's the recommended replacement - is it yum-cron? I hand-update some servers, and of course users' workstations, but some system, like home directory servers and

Ever since someone told me that one of my servers might have been hacked (not the most recent instance) because I wasn't applying updates as soon as they became available, I've been logging in and running "yum update" religiously once a week until I found out how to set the yum-updatesd service to do the equivalent automatically (once per hour, I think). Since then, I've

I've read that it's not recommended to automatically apply updates via yum-updated on production servers, but I keep encountering servers that have this enabled. Are any of you doing automatic yum updates on production servers in CentOS 5 via yum-updatesd? Have you experienced any negative side effects? The only thing I can think of is if say a client had a custom version of PHP

Hi, On CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (2.6.18-92) the yum security plugin seem to not working. If I try "yum update --security" nothing is done. Is there something to configure ? All the following packages are installed on my system. yum.noarch 3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 installed yum-aliases.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed

The mirrorlist entry in my Fedora-11 /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-update.repo reads: mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released- f$releasever&arch=$basearch As far as I can see, this means that yum is looking for the file metalink at mirrors.fedoraproject.org ? If I try "sudo yum update" I get: ----------------------------------- [tim at elizabeth ~]$

Hi all, I updated yum 2.4 to yum 2.9 from ATRPMS by using yum as below. yum update yum I now have yum 2.9. pls see yum ver below [root at mailgw yum]# rpm -qa |grep yum yum-2.9.4-74.el4.at yum-metadata-parser-1.0-7.1_1.el4.at Before that (i.e when I was running yum 2.4), I could enable yum at startup as below chkconfig yum on and I was also able to start/stop/restart yum as below.

I'm following the instructions on this URL http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RT_3.4.x_On_CentOS_4.x and came across the part that said "WARNING: RT overwrites some packages from the base distribution, especially mod_perl" How exactly do I "protect" the RT repository? It links to the "ProtectBase" program http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/ProtectBase

Alle, I have installed and enabled (I think) the yum protectbase plugin: [cwfox at lurker ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i protectbase yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1-1.c4 [cwfox at lurker ~]$ cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/protectbase.conf [main] enabled = 1 [cwfox at lurker ~]$ grep plugin /etc/yum.conf plugins=1 [cwfox at lurker ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo <SNIP> [base]

Hi, A little more of clarification :) ... In some wiki pages say that the protectbase and priorities yum plugins can not be used together. It seems that the next paragraph must be updated: ====> Always beware when using/mixing 3rd-party repos. The yum protectbase and/or priorities plugins are your friends. Although both can be used together, using protectbase is probably unnecessary if

Hi, Is it not ok to use both plugins at the same time? I have read from the wiki page of centos that you must use only either protect base or priorities plugin. I have been using the the config file below for months and did not encounter any problems. I used priority=1 and protect=1 on base and updates (addons,extras protect=1 ; set no priorities) for the CentOS-Base repo and on the rpmforge
