Although the state of the thing itself is not very helpful :( My intention was to automatically get warned, when there are pending security updates. I therefore reworked the "yum" plugin of Munin [1] But as I see now, this will not work for CentOS as long as the data (a working updateinfo.xml) is not existent in the repos.. I will add a note in the Munin yum plugin to inform other CentOS users about this #fail. It would be good to add such a hint also in the CentOS package of the yum-plugin-security. Until now there is no info about the no-op nor in the man page neither under /usr/share/doc. Shall I create a bug report addressing the missing doc? Or will it get answered with "won't fix" as the fix would need to fork an own CentOS version of the plugin, so no longer simply copy the package from upstream (rh) # rpm -ql yum-plugin-security /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/security.conf /usr/lib/yum-plugins/security.py /usr/lib/yum-plugins/security.pyc /usr/lib/yum-plugins/security.pyo /usr/share/doc/yum-plugin-security-1.1.30 /usr/share/doc/yum-plugin-security-1.1.30/COPYING /usr/share/man/man8/yum-security.8.gz Cheers, Gabriele [1] https://github.com/munin-monitoring/munin/commits/devel/plugins/node.d.linux/yum.in
