Monthly Patch Releases for Linux CentOS/RedHat












1















Can somebody tell me when CentOS/RedHat release package updates monthly? Micrososft has patch Tuesday but I can't seem to find a day/week when CentOS/RedHat release monthly patches. I'd like to schedule my environment patching around this if such a cycle exists.

          You can easily set up you own patch schedule and just update when it's time. Personally I monitor the CentOS Announce mailing list to see if there are any high priority updates that need to be applied outside of my general patching schedule.

          Red Hat does not withhold security updates for an artificial schedule, as some other operating system vendors do. They are released as soon as they are ready for deployment. That may be on any day of the year, including holidays.
