During a support ticket I asked about this very functionality and was told there is no way to accomplish this automatically. I use RHN manually to queue up and schedule the updates. Here was my question: -------- In order to use yum, I would need to find a way to apply "all updates issued before date X" or "all errata up to errata #Y" so that production systems don't end up with errata issued later than what's on dev and test tiers. If there is a way to do that? I didn't see anything in the yum manpage that lets you pick a date when I glanced quickly through it. -------- And here is what Support said: -------- ...so far, I haven't found a method for doing what you want to do other than with the --bz, --advisory, or --cve options, and even that wouldn't work in conjunction with RHN. [...]it looks like your best solution with yum would be to use a script to have yum download plugins with the --bz, --cve, or --advisory. The script would pull the bug numbers or security advisory numbers and plug them into a yum command similar to "yum --downloadonly --cve $i". This would allow you to make one download of the necessary patched packages and apply them in any manner you like. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
