Hi all,
Due to a certain bugs and problems with cluster stack on SL6.1
(corosync, cman, kernel, etc) release (all problems are reported to
upstream), I need to maintain two hosts at SL6.0 version.
Is it possible to do this applying all security errata only for this
version?
Thanks.
Hello,
There was alot of replies to your post, but I wanted to make sure you
were clear.
If you do nothing, you will stay at SL 6.0 and get all the latest
security errata for SL 6.0. You will not get any bugfixes, only security
updates.
If there is a package that you are worried about being upgraded, whether
for security updates or not, you have two choices.
1 - Edit /etc/yum.conf and add an "exclude" line (man yum.conf) and it
will never be updated
2 - Edit /etc/sysconfig/yum-autoupdate and add the package name to the
EXCLUDE line. Then the package will not be automatically updated, but
you will be able to update it by hand via yum.
If you want to later update to 6.1, or 6.2, or the latest version, the
webpage is now up that tells how to do that.
http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.6x
the short version is
yum --releasever=6x update

Thanks Troy and sorry for my delayed response. But I have antoher
question. Will scientificlinux release security fixes updates during EUS
of certain release like 6.0 until upstream it marks as an EOL??
For example:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-1106.html
This is a security fix released by upstream vendor, but I didn't see if
this package is released for SL6.0
Thanks.
