From: centos-bounces at centos.org on behalf of John Thomas >Anyone have a script to check a repo for updates and list the new files? yum check-update If you don't have the repo configured in yum, you can write a repo config, put it in /etc/yum.repos.d, and set enabled to 0. Then use --enablerepo on it, and it will list the updates that you need (not all available updates, though). If you need something that lists all new updates, whether you need them or not, you have more work to do. But the python code of yum would be a good place to start. -- Lamar Owen Chief Information Officer Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 828-862-5554 www.pari.edu _______________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
