Hi,
With the release of 5.2 "yum update" seems to be upgrading our
computers from CentOS 5.1 to CentOS 5.2. I note from release notes for
5.2 that you are only supposed to get 5.2 if you type in "yum upgrade".
On two seperate machines entering "yum update" has resulted in yum
geting repo information for packages with versions that only exist in
the base repository of centos 5.2.
The following snippet shows the beginning of yum update on a x86_64
server. It has noticed python-2.4.3-21.el5.x86_64,
ltrace-0.5-7.45svn.el5.x86_64 and system-config-securitylevel-tui.x86_64
0:1.6.29.1-2.1.el5 which are a CentOs 5.2 package. On a workstation yum
update resulted in upgrade of firefox from 1.5 to 3.0-0 beta5.
Can I stop this from happening? Ideally I would like to stay on a
particulare version of CentOS eg 5.2 until we can do a controlled
upgrade. Maybe we have the same problem as having stable specified in a
debian sources.list where what is meant by stable changes when a new
version of debian is released.
