ok, so what do you mean by sticking to 5.0 ? you mean you dont want any updates at all for those machines, even if they might be security issues ?
As an example - In Debian, as long as I stick to "stable" I can be sure that the only updates I receive there are for heavily tested very important bugs and security issues, so I should generally apply them.
CentOS does not follow the debian release model.
- If I read the FAQ correctly, in order to force yum to stay with 5.0
should I just manually edit /etc/redhat-release from:
CentOS release 5 (Final) to: CentOS release 5.0 (Final)
no, there is no such mention abut anything in the FAQ or anywhere else that I can find. What made you believe that changing stuff in that text file will change the repo's your machine is looking at ?
- I am hoping that yum-security will allow me to stick to the latest
security updates for 5.0 without forcing me to upgrade to 5.1 until
read the release notes about yum-security
