  Right now the closest thing you will get is the Centos-announce list.

 If you have access to the repositories...
 
  yum -d 0 check-update
 
 maybe?

Just saw and installed yum-security on CentOS 5.x on i386. I think this

Had you tried it before posting your mail you would have found out that
it errors out with:

Skipping security plugin, no data

Actually I did; (un)fortunately I had my systems up to date.

Try yum --security check-update

Hello, I'd like to ask a couple of things:

1) I would like to move from Debian to CentOS.
One thing I will probably miss is the debsecan tool.
This utility sends me a mail whenever there is a change regarding the

It lists new ones, resolved ones and current ones.

Is there anything similar for CentOS?
