Tips and Tricks
"Yum halts if there is any dependency problem within the repository to
be safe and doesnt perform partial updates. Use this script if you
want that. Kindly ensure that you report any dependency issues to the
appropriate repository bug tracker or post to the relevant project
list if it requires more discussions."
#!/bin/sh
for i in `yum list updates |cut -f 1 -d " " |grep -A 500 -e Updated |\
grep -v -e Updated` ; do
echo "Updating $i"
yum -y update $i
done
....................
I put the script in /<user>/bin and made it executable, but I run
it as root. I've been using it for sometime to update rawhide daily
since 'yum update' has become a problem. Often needin to run it
several times to get all the updates. I've just now
installed 'yum-fastestmirror', so I'll see tomorrow if that helps
with the mirror situation.
