Errmm 4.3 updates give 4.4 ???
Hey, I am seeing 195 updates available. That does NOT sound like a a few patches. More like a total replacement.

what it sounds like you want is to stay at 4.3 but still receive... something? security updates? updates that are magically guaranteed not to break anything?

i'm not sure there's a good way to accomplish that. i'd recommend not running `yum update` until other early adopters have figured out all the various pitfalls and have documented workarounds.


This issue will be resolved upstream when following the release of 4.5 they start to maintain point releases that have backported security updates - 4.5.1 4.5.2 etc - CentOS will follow suit ...

p.s. i recall an announcement a while back that there RH created additional up2date channels that distribute noncritical fixes and feature enhancements in real time rather than waiting until the point release, but i don't remember how to access them. anyone?

fasttrack repo (= upstream fastrack)
