I want to be able to see what package updates are available before I manually update them using yumex. Is there a way to do this with yum or should I be doing something else? In some cases, I may see an available package update and then decide I really don't even want the rpm on the system, and therefore remove it. I'm trying to maintain several machines on a network, and need to come up with some strategy to do this. If you could recommend documentation on this, it would be appreciated. I really thought that having the headers in the cache was a good way to do what I need. Thanks again.
