Where is the command that adds the new repositories ?
How is this suppose to work ?

Explain what is going on rather than a dumb list of commands.

How to tie a system to a specific update of Red Hat Enterprise Linux with a temporary setting.

# yum clean all
# yum –releasever=6.6 update

Use the –releasever=X.Y option with yum to override the major.minor release versions, where X is the major release and Y is the minor release. Since it is not persistent, this option would need to be repeated for later executions of yum.

I had an old 6.4 that just won’t update with the regular yum update.

A simple

yum clean all
and then
yum update

worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Can you show me how to perform the update offline?
My server is CentOS release 6.4 (Final) and it does not have access to the web or other Linux servers?

Why not use …

yum -y upgrade

it removes obsolete packages.
