Fedora 12 released with over 200 updates waitingFedora 12 released with over 200 updates waitingPosted Nov 17, 2009 17:25 UTC (Tue) by nevyn (subscriber, #33129)In reply to: Fedora 12 released with over 550 updates waiting by kragil Parent article: Fedora 12 released
% yum repolist --enablerepo=updates-testing fedora Fedora 12 - x86_64 enabled: 19,122 updates Fedora 12 - x86_64 - Updates enabled: 271 updates-testing Fedora 12 - x86_64 - Test Updates enabled: 843 ...that's for x86_64, i386 is smaller (206 atm.) ... and no sane person should need all of those. You can also yum-plugin-security, to get security only updates. Saying that you might be better off with RHEL/CentOS if you want "minimum" updates.

Fedora 12 released with hundreds of updates waiting Posted Nov 17, 2009 18:03 UTC (Tue) by kragil (subscriber, #34373) [Link]
The number is not mine, it is Thorsten Leemhuis' (kernel-log author and Fedora contributor)
I know about yum-plugin-security. Problem is that with Fedora you need all the updates you can get (except those that break stuff, you don't need those, but they are well disguised.)

The number is still misleading. You don't need that many updates.

If there were one or two mirror admins for mirrors in the main eu or us mirrorlist who be willing to do a little access log data mining... we could probably get a pretty good histogram look at how many of the update packages users are typically pulling over. We could probably get a read on the percentage of users who are just pulling security updates too.

Fedora 12 released with over 200 updates waiting Posted Nov 22, 2009 13:27 UTC (Sun) by rwmj (subscriber, #5474) [Link] Fedora 12 introduced a new process to prevent updates to critical path packages. So (if the process worked) none of those updates should be for key packages that could break anything important for you. Rich.
