Rollback Patches

[Barry Brimer]

Quoting Christian Campbell <ccampbell at brueggers.com>:

> What is the supported method for doing patch rollbacks?  I'm attempting
> to upgrade some RPMs via up2date, and need a back-out strategy if it
> breaks our core application, without having to restore from backup.
>
>
>
> I see a deprecated --rollback which once did transactional rollbacks.
> Is there a replacement command or method?

This article does a good job of explaining what you are trying to accomplish.
