Preventing unexpected version jumps in yum repository

in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered ✓

Using the official OracleLinux/OL8/baseos/latest repo gives you all the updates but also jumps between releases with no warning. Switching between 8.3 and 8.4 introduced broken systemd-udevd that caused problems for us.

Using OracleLinux/OL8/4/baseos/base/ doesn't jump between releases but you don't get any updates either.

Is there a repo for Oracle Linux 8 that provides updates but does not jump versions like CentOS has? CentOS 8.4.2105/BaseOS/ receives updates until 8.5 release and will not dump an untested release on you suddenly.

Howdy, Stranger!
