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.

Dear Johnny,

According to "man 5 yum-updatesd.conf":

(..)
       do_update
Boolean option to decide whether or not updates should be automatically applied. Defaults to False.

       do_download
Boolean option to decide whether or not updates should be automatically downloaded. Defaults to False.
(..)

So, appears that yum-updatesd can download, notify and install updates.. but none of this works on a fresh CentOS 5.2 :-(

I will try yum-cron.. but I'm also interested in testing yum- updatesd, none is using it? there's no patch to solve this? Thanks..

Regards,
