I am running a fedora 12 department of many machines. We don't update everything daily in case some of the local stuff breaks with a general fedora yum update. We would, however, like to rollout the security patches. Can someone tell me is there a "yum update securitypatches" style command or is it a "run yum one by one" system that we should run on each package we get a security notification for. I ask this because it was noticed locally that the Gnome interface to PackageKit seemed to know which packages were security updates and which were just general updates so the knowledge is obtainable automatically by some programs. Is that information available to yum(our preferred method of deployment)?
