Please create a "security" repo.

[Mike Manilone]

Dear list,

Maybe this is related to the repo. manager, but I must say, a standalone
"security" repo is very necessary. 

Because of some reasons, I don't enable the updates repo, but the
security updates are pushed to it, I can't get them! (especially kernel
and kernel-related)

It could be a very important problem for some users who don't enable
updates repo.

If you only want security updates, just enable updates repo and
install "yum-plugin-security".

see "yum info yum-plugin-security" for more details.

Have a nice day.

Regards.

Baptiste.

Additionally, the devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org mailing list is where you'd
want to bring up the idea of additional repositories.

This plugin seems nice, but I always use zif, so the repo is still
necessary.

Mike,

I am really sorry, but then you will have to create one yourself. The
plug-in works fine for 95% of people. Maybe you should look at writing a
script that checks for security updates or, how about using Pulp ?

http://pulpproject.org/ug/UGInstallation.html

https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/

Should make most of what you want to achieve possible with a bit work
elbow grease.

Or, better yet, write something from scratch and make it available to
others as a collaborative community effort. ;-D

Regards,

Tristan
