Hello All,
I'd like to get your insights on the definitions on these two commands:
yum --security update vs. yum --security update-minimal.
Oracle definition located at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E54669/html/ol7-security-yum.html
To update all packages for which security-related errata are available to the latest versions of the packages, even if those packages include bug fixes or new features but not security errata, enter:
# yum --security update
To update all packages to the latest versions that contain security errata, ignoring any newer packages that do not contain security errata, enter:
# yum --security update-minimal
yum-security (8) manual located at https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/8-yum-security/
To upgrade packages that have security errata (upgrades to the latest available package) use:
- yum --security update
To upgrade packages that have security errata (upgrades to the last security errata package) use:
- yum --security update-minimal
- Can you see the the confusions these two definitions from two sources may cause?
- How would you interprete them?
- Thank you,
- Amy
