Greetings.
In some kind of unfortunate timing, we went into freeze this morning and also RHEL 6.6 was released. :) So, I would like to ask for a little freeze break. ;)
I'd like to apply the update to all our RHEL6 machines and reboot those that can be easily rebooted without an outage.
Reasoning:
I would really very much like to update openssh on lockbox01 so we can use control-persist and pipelining. It should make ansible runs a great deal faster.
I would like us to be up to date in the event a serious security vulnerability arrives. So, we just need to apply the update instead of applying all of rhel6.6 also.
I would --exclude=python-zmq as we have had troubles with the rhel6 version from epel.
We have typically had very little problem with minor release versions of RHEL. Breakage for us has usually happened due to epel upgrades or unrelated items.
It's the very start of our freeze, so we should be able to clean up any problems resulting before it disrupts the beta cycle any.
I don't see any issues off hand that would affect us in the tech notes for rhel 6.6.
Thoughts? +1s?
I'm +1, we just started freeze and it's early in the week, so we should have time to recover/manage if we have to.
