This script allows you to select certain packages for update.
It is useful if you having trouble running a single yum update
and have a lot of
packages to update (which is very common on production systems) or you want to delay
the update of some packages but want the rest as soon as possible.
Just run the yum-interactive-update.rb and select updates you want to apply. You can
specify the updates by their index (appears before the package name). The UI accepts
a range of indexes in ruby notation syntax, FROM..TO
(e.g. 12..25
). The range is
closed at the both end that means if you select 12..25
packages indexed with 12
and 25
will be included into the updateable package list.
Note: It's clear from the name of the script but it need an emphasizement: this script can only work with YUM package manager (that is included in e.g. CentOS, Fedora, CloudLinux, etc).
