Subject: View Updates - Wait.....-Apply Updates
See little window pop up. 52 updates...
Only button is "View Updates", click it, wait......
See screen, click "Apply Updates"
Would it be possible to have 2 buttons "Apply Updates" and "View Updates"?
That way I can click "Apply Updates" and not have to wait to just click
another button.
Yes, most of the time I do like to look, but what if I have several
machines
that all need the same thing?
One more thing, on some machines, I can't just do the update, I have to wait
until after hours. But it is nice to have the updates downloaded before
hand. So I can just do the install and not have to wait for the download.
People want their machine back and only let you have it for a little while.
So maybe a checkbox on the main Package Updater screen that says download
only.
Obviously, there is no reason why it wouldn't be possible {eg equivalent
to the yum -y option}; it's open source after all.
But perhaps yum-updatesd already implements what you are after ;)
$ man yum-updatesd.conf
I go a different route: one internal machine gets updated manually
{after visually approving updates}, and testing for a few days, then
createrepo is used to build a custom internal repo. The rest of the
machines autoupdate from the internal repos: there are no external repos
set. I think it is a good to manage what to update, and also internally
cache the rpm etc.
