  • 1.  DNF alternative to "yum list-security" command.

    Posted Wed June 26, 2024 08:10 AM

    Hello,

    Do you know if there is any alternative to DNF on AIX that returns information similar to the Linux "yum list-security" command?

    $ yum list-security
    linuxrpm-rhel-7-server-install

    Hi Fabio,

    I came across this link https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/sanket-rathi1/2020/09/08/yum-plugins-for-aix shared by user @sanket-rathi1.

    Take a look at the end of the document:

    Future availability: 

    security

    AIX don't have same mechanism used in other Linux distros for security updates.

    But this document is nearly four years old; perhaps there are some updates about it.
