Will fix in next release. Thanks: yum-distro-configs: update installonly_limit default in yum.conf.5 http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/yum.git/commit/?h=f19&id=a08b310baae4e7b06a224a4f8843b804b8d19641 Verified fixed with yum-3.4.3-104.fc19.noarch.

Created attachment 779083 [details] /etc/yum.conf Description of problem: The yum.conf man page says installonly_limit defaults to 0, but a kernel update shows that it defaults to 3. $ grep installonly_limit /etc/yum.conf #installonly_limit=3 $ rpm -q kernel kernel-3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.9.9-302.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.10.3-300.fc19.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.4.3-102.fc19.noarch How reproducible: Presumably always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Comment out installonly_limit in yum.conf: $ grep installonly_limit /etc/yum.conf #installonly_limit=3 1. Install 3 kernels. 2. Update with a fourth kernel. Actual results: Oldest kernel is removed. Expected results: Oldest kernel is not removed, Or The yum.conf man pages says installonly_limit defaults to 3.
