I would assume you could just change the updateinfo for the the current update to mark it as "security", this is a tiny amount of extra work on the packager side ... but without it all the work to create the security types on updates is worthless. > This is just another failure point of yum-security. This would be the _only_ failure point, if in fact it is policy (and isn't going to be fixed). Of course it's such a huge issue I'll have to make the --security option a noop in Fedora if true, no arguments there the option would be worthless. -- James Antill - ja...@fedoraproject.org http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.27 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
