For compatibility with a program :
- I need to keep one of our servers in a specific version, for example rhel 5.1
- I would like to keep it as updated as possible, but not to change versions.
What should I do:
Configure yum?
Configure satellite repository?

Do not update the package called redhat-release-5Server-
$ rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release redhat-release-5Server-5.3.0.3Make sure to pin that package. If you do edit /etc/yum.conf and put this in it
[main] exclude=redhat-release-5Server-*yum would refrain from updating that package and that would keep /etc/redhat-release at its current version.
Not sure why you would want this though...

I also have this question as a particular vendor only support/certifies their application on RHEL 5.4. Therefore I would like to keep the system as up to date without applying updates delivered with a future minor version number bump. Does pinning the redhat-release package prevent package updates delivered with later RHEL updates from being installed?
