Does 'YUM install' always install the latest app version?

Hi there,


This is a probably stupid question, but I never checked what strategy yum uses.


If I do "yum install firefox" on a freshly installed F19 system, and the initial version of 
FIrefox on F19 (the one shipped on the LiveCD) is, say, 21.0, but the latest update on 
the repos is, say, Firefox 23.0. Does "yum install firefox" directly fetch FF 23.0.x, or 
does it install the "baseline" browser (21.0) and then on the next "yum update firefox" 
jump to 23?.




Yum default behaviour would be (AFAIK) to install version 23.0 as it would report 21.0 
already installed. And find nothing to do.
