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 Regards, [1] http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2039 [2] http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2592 [3] http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2560
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..
