help needed for rpm naming convention
Hello,
maybe a stupid question.
I have to update a system but want to stay within the minor release (RHEL 6.6).
Assumed I have the following rpm
glibc-2.12-1.149.el6_6.11.x86_64.rpm
does el6_6.11 means,
it is for
RHEL 6.6 (6_6)
update number 11 (for 6.6)?
thx in advance for help.

Hello Lothar,
If you need to stay of RHEL 6.6, an EUS subscription is needed. Once you have this, you can move the server profiles in RHN or your Satellite (after syncing the appropriate channels) to rhel-....-6.6.z channels.
Now your servers will only get updates for RHEL 6.6.
Be aware RHEL 6.6 will only get critical security fixes, no bug fixes or feature extensions.
Kind regards,
Jan Gerrit
