Description James Antill 2011-04-13 19:11:39 UTC

Description of problem:

 I think the only real difference we'd have by adding this is that we could put "yum --security" in documentation (without having to say, do blah to install the security plugin), and a few people might not know about it and would find out via. it's default installation.

Comment 1 Mark J. Cox 2011-04-14 07:35:02 UTC

Commands like 'yum info-security' are really useful and we might want to start pointing customers to those commands, or scripting which uses them, when the ability to get RHN notifications goes away (or if they are using CDN).  I believe this rpm should be added a default to all install options.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-06 01:34:18 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2011-07-18 18:51:08 UTC

Moving for rel-eng to implement, still requires a PM ack to do.

Comment 5 Alexander Todorov 2011-08-23 12:10:24 UTC

In RHEL6.2-20110822.5 yum-plugin-security is marked as default in comps.xml for all arches/variants.
