Dear Srs,

yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 appears that it's not working on freshly installed CentOS 5.2, using:

# rpm -qa "yum*"
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5
yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5
yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1
yum-fastestmirror-1.1.10-9.el5.centos

I see some bugs ([1], [2] and [3]) in the bug tracker, and more info related to other distros like Fedora, etc.. with the same problem.

yum-updatesd does not automatically update in CentOS 5.2, is there any patch for this? anyone using this daemon for Yum?

This is the configuration file:

# grep -v "#" /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf
[main]
run_interval = 60
updaterefresh = 60
emit_via = email
email_to = santi@xxxxxxxxxxx
email_from = centos@xxxxxxxxxxx
do_update = yes
do_download = yes
do_download_deps = yes

yum-updatesd does not install updates, it tells you they are available.

yum-cron (or a batch file you create with a 'yum -y upgrade' ) would be needed to actually upgrade the system.

FWIW Johnny...on Fedora yum-updatesd does indeed automatically install
updates if configured as above (not the default).

And it probably SHOULD work in CentOS too ... but it doesn't.

We will probably look at it at some point ... but yumcron was included since it is currently broken.
