[389-users] Yum Update vs Yum Upgrade

Hi Everyone,

 

After taking over the LDAP service from a colleague, I updated the 389 DS service to the latest release by issuing a “yum update …”.  Then when searching around the 389-ds documentation, I came across the install page that said that I must use “yum upgrade …” and not update. 

 

My question is what’s the difference between yum update and upgrade?  Is it OK if I leave it like that or should I do the yum upgrade?  The service seems to be running OK after “yum update”, so far.

 

I went from 1.2.11.15-14.el6_4 --> 1.2.11.29-1.el6

 

Thanks,

Trev
