Hey folks,
I am sure there must be an easy way to do this.
I am currently running 5.3 and "yum info db4" tells me that they have version 4.3.29.
Is that telling me that this is the version in 5.3? Or that this is the latest version in the 5.x stream?
If the former, then how do I find out what release of the db4 software (sleepcat berkeley db) is in 5.7?
I don't want to "yum upgrade" just yet. I have to research a number of things before upgrading, and this is one of them.

It's very rare that point release update/upgrades within a major version will b0rk anything.
That's the point of running an enterprise OS, there shouldn't be any major changes within a release.
Testing in a VM like Fabien mentioned is also a pretty good idea.
