Topic: Excluding Packages from CentOS - updates

[icedizzy]

Running on SME 7.3 since christmas the message "Excluding Packages from CentOS - updates" and so on appears.
It feels like upgrades from Centos should have been done since then but I'm not sure.
Any ideas?

What you are seeing is correct. Certain packages are excluded from being updated from CentOS repositories.

[william_syd]

Specifically...

[root@tiger ~]# db yum_repositories printprop base Exclude
Exclude=kernel,kernel-smp,kernel-xenU,mkinitrd,mdadm,initscripts
[root@tiger ~]# db yum_repositories printprop updates Exclude
Exclude=kernel,kernel-smp,kernel-xenU,mkinitrd,mdadm,initscripts

Ok, just felt there were something wrong.
Never nice to check for something and then be excluded without a reason.
Better if yum checked and if it's ok to exclude regarding 32/64 bit kernel or what ever just being quiet becaus the upgrade perhaps didnt fit your current platform or something.

No big deal.

Thnks for your replies.
