If one or more packages are specified, Yum will only update the listed packages. While updating packages, yum will ensure that all dependencies are satisfied. If no package matches the given package name(s), they are assumed to be a shell glob and any matches are then installed. If the --obsoletes flag is present yum will include package obsoletes in its calculations - this makes it better for dis- tro-version changes, for example: upgrading from somelinux 8.0 to somelinux 9. check-update Implemented so you could know if your machine had any updates that needed to be applied without running it interactively. Returns exit value of 100 if there are packages available for an update. Also returns a list of the pkgs to be updated in list format. Returns 0 and no packages are available for update. upgrade Is the same as the update command with the --obsoletes flag set.
