There is no provided functionality to do this, that is, CentOS doesn't differentiate between what you call updates and upgrades. > How can I achieve this ? Normally (default yum config) a machine fetches it's packages from URL.../6/.. You can change this 6 to 6.x. That will prevent you from getting updates belonging to 6.x+1 _but_ will have the negative side-effect of stopping to work when 6.x+1 is released (6.x removed from normal mirrors). Keeping you own repo (rsynced without --delete) may be the best idea (but requires more work). /Peter > If I sync the repositories for eg: 6.0 , 6.2, 6.4 separately in > Spacewalk and only allow access to the ones I want to give access to, > would that work ? > > Thanks -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
