YUM only update critical/security packages

[storskogen]

I want to set-up yum to only update critical and security related packages because i dont trust yum not to mess up my system (it has done that befora )

Is this possible and how do i do that?

Hello:

You could try yum-security

PHP Code:

$ yum info yum-security.noarch
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Available Packages
Name       : yum-security
Arch       : noarch
Version    : 1.1.16
Release    : 1.fc9
Size       : 16 k
Repo       : updates-newkey
Summary    : Yum plugin to enable security filters
URL        : [url]http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/yum-utils/[/url]
License    : GPLv2+
Description: This plugin adds the options --security, --cve, --bz and --advisory
           : flags to yum and the list-security and info-security commands. The
           : options make it possible to limit list/upgrade of packages to
           : specific security relevant ones. The commands give you the security
           : information
