Coming from apt-get package manager in Ubuntu I find it kind of odd that I never see any updates when I use yum.On my Ubuntu desktop I almost daily have new available updates when I use apt-get update but when I type yum update on my Fedora server I always get:[root@pidora ~]# yum updateLoaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekitNo packages marked for updateSo how do I check if it is even working correctly?
Does yum check for updates?
fedora;package management;yum
Yes. Doing yum update is enough. It does all what is needed.What version of Fedora are you using? I guess it is Fedora 21 or older, since the newer ones have dnf package manager instead of yum. Fedora 21 just entered EOL (end of life), so there are no more updates for this release. You are advised to update to newer one to get security updates.
