Hi,
On CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (2.6.18-92) the yum security plugin seem to not working.
If I try "yum update --security" nothing is done.
Is there something to configure ?
All the following packages are installed on my system.
yum.noarch 3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 installed yum-aliases.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-allowdowngrade.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-basearchonly.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-changelog.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-downloadonly.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-fastestmirror.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-filter-data.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-kernel-module.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-kmod.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-list-data.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-merge-conf.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-metadata-parser.x86_64 1.1.2-2.el5 installed yum-priorities.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-protect-packages.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-protectbase.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-refresh-updatesd.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-security.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-skip-broken.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-tsflags.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-updateonboot.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-updatesd.noarch 1:0.9-2.el5 installed yum-upgrade-helper.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-utils.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed yum-versionlock.noarch 1.1.10-9.el5.centos installed

yum security does not work on CentOS, has been said quite a few times already.
patches welcome.

Karanbir, there's nothing to patch unless we provide some info on packages that we can extract from and finally build updateinfo.xml.gz. So as the majority of CentOS community knows nothing about how packages are produced and how CESA are produced, we do not have CESA RRS feed, we don´t have CVE-to-CESA. So you can´t expect someone from community to step in. I can see the only way to create updateinfo.xml.gz now - browse the repo and extract these info/tags from change logs, which are often incomplete. And I'm not sure it's worth. Regards, David Hrbáč

repo-rss, included in yum-utils will give you a rss feed for any repo you like.
beyond that - any info that I can see, is the same as what you can see.
