Oracle Linux Patching

BazzaSep 9 2016 — edited Sep 9 2016

I would like to implement a systematic approach to patching oracle linux servers, that is to say,  patch test servers to level x and then a week/month late, patch live servers to level x.

Whilst I can patch to the latest update release, there tends to be a lot of individual rpm patches released in the interim.

If I patch a test server in July, when I come to patch the live server, I don't want to install any patch that has come out since - how do you guys approach this? With solaris for example, Oracle just batches these patches up on a regular basis and you just download the latest patchset from metalink.

any insight in the methodologies people use gratefully received.
