Hello,
Sorry if this is somewhat naive, but I'm a little confused as to what the criteria is for that which will get upgraded automatically by yum and what will not.
I see in our logwatch messages from time to time that yum upgraded a bunch of stuff, but I also notice that yum will not upgrade other packages at all (easy example is clamav, but there are others).
Can someone explain or point me to where I can read about the distinction between what is and is not subjected to automatic upgrade?
Automatic upgrade (if "yum upgrade" is run), will upgrade all newer rpm packages that are in *enabled* repositories. If you installed from external repository that you keep disabled, those packages will not be automatically upgraded.
