How to display details and severity of the updates using yum on a command-line?

[jaivuk]

Hello poc,

Thank you very much. Yes it works, but:
- I still do not see severity
- I cannot imagine I do it for each package displayed by "yum update". I
believe this should be integrated into yum with severity as well....

I think I will open feature request as yum has a "handicap" comparet to
graphical "software update" tool - and compared to .deb based systems...
