I didn't see this in the man page for yum.conf.... is there a way to get yum to even log when yum check-update is run and there was nothing to update? Currently yum doesn't log "null" updates in the yum.log but I'd like it to so I can judge better when I want to run it again. I tried setting the debuglevel higher, that just increased the verbosity to the terminal and not the log file. I was thinking this would likely reduce yum update repository load because admins would look in the log file and see that it was run recently and nothing was found.
