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@example.com email_from = centos@example.com 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).
