Hello everybody,
Usually, updates frequency is high. But for about one week, none.
How can I check my installed YUM (refresh-packagekit ?) still
correctly does its work ? And what should I do if it does not ?
I have cron run "yum -y --downloadonly upgrade" daily, and I have the option to
keep packages set in yum.conf. At a civilized hour I check the mail and see
what's to be updated, and apply some or all of the packages.
To check that things are working, just "yum check-update" can be run manually,
it typically will download some metadata and present a list of what needs
update, if anything. It's relatively fast, and will give you that "warm fuzzy
feeling" that everything is ok, or tell you for certain that it's not.
