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).
And it probably SHOULD work in CentOS too ... but it doesn't.
We will probably look at it at some point ... but yumcron was included since it is currently broken.
---- I should have noted that I never could get yum-updatesd to automatically update a system until Fedora 8. It never worked in Fedora 7.
