May be already asked, sorry so !

But what is the best method when updating between 4.4 and 4.5 or 4.4 and 4.6 or 5.0 and 5.1

Is it ok to update only with 'yum update' cmd, with no risk ?

Yes. It is the standard way endorsed by the maintainers. They only recommend against upgrades to new releases (e.g. 4.x->5.x).

I've gone from 4.2 (IIRC)->4.3->4.4...4.6 with almost no problems. The only one requiring extra work was when the sqlite (IIRC) got updated.

Also keep in mind if you mix repositories, use priorities and/or include and exclude commands in the repo files.

Thanks you for your support,
