Re: rpm 4.2

[Joshua Bahnsen <archrival@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think I have one final question, is it possible to install the rpm provided by the specific advisory and not necessarily the most recent version of the package associated with the advisory?

For example:

RHBA-2004:265-23 bugfix   bash-2.05b-29.0.3.i386
RHBA-2005:437-11 bugfix   bash-2.05b-41.4.i386
RHBA-2006:0064-02 bugfix   bash-2.05b-41.5.i386
RHBA-2006:0311-04 bugfix   bash-2.05b-41.7.i386

Say I had change control in place and only bash version 2.05b-41.5 was approved, can I install that version using yum and yum-security based on the advisory?

'yum update --advisory=RHBA-2006:0064-02' will install bash-2.05b-41.7, which I don't want. Is there a plug-in or a configuration option that will allow me to deploy the packages provided by the advisory?

 You could try backporting get_applicable_notices() from update_md.py,
I _think_ that's all the newer yum-security plugin needs from the
newer yum core (there might be a couple of other deps. though, for
formatting ... just backport the older code from the older
yum-security plugin).

 I'm prepared to be wrong though :)
