SolutionAs far as I know there's not such thing as patch bundles in Redhat. Closest thing would be minor releases, but that's not really close anyway.
If you want to get a tighter control over package versions installed on your servers you could set up your own local mirror of the RH repositories and make your servers pull their updates from there. Your mirror's snapshot of the RH repository would work as your "patch bundle", so to speak.

Re: Linux patch question
#rpm -qa --last
It would list all the patched installed date wise.

Re: Linux patch question
# yum check-update
# yum info 'package_name_here'
yum info will tell you some more about the package.
enjoy life.

Re: Linux patch question
This may be more than you want, but it will work with redhat, tell you when packages were installed.
Patching with RH replaces the binary and shows up as an rpm install with a new version.
rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}%{VERSION}%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH} %{installtime} (%{installtime:date})\n'

Re: Linux patch question
Thanks for your replies
rpm -qa on redhat as well as suse gave me an output like this
Suse 10.1

Red 5
patch-2.5.4-29.2.2
Red 3
patch-2.5.4-16

Re: Linux patch question
You won't find one single package defining the patch level of the whole system, that only happens when you upgrade to the next minor (or major) version.
The only "patch level" you'll find in RedHat is in /etc/redhat-release. Other than that it's just per-package upgrades that you can check with yum.

Re: Linux patch question
What you are getting there are the installed versions of the "patch" package, which is a program to patchs files with diffs.
Thanks Much
