Greetings.
In some kind of unfortunate timing, we went into freeze this morning
and also RHEL 6.6 was released. :) So, I would like to ask for a little
freeze break. ;)
I'd like to apply the update to all our RHEL6 machines and reboot those
that can be easily rebooted without an outage.
Reasoning:
* I would really very much like to update openssh on lockbox01 so we
can use control-persist and pipelining. It should make ansible runs a
great deal faster.
* I would like us to be up to date in the event a serious security
vulnerability arrives. So, we just need to apply the update instead
of applying all of rhel6.6 also.
* I would --exclude=python-zmq as we have had troubles with the rhel6
version from epel.
* We have typically had very little problem with minor release versions
of RHEL. Breakage for us has usually happened due to epel upgrades or
unrelated items.
* It's the very start of our freeze, so we should be able to clean up
any problems resulting before it disrupts the beta cycle any.
* I don't see any issues off hand that would affect us in the tech
notes for rhel 6.6.
Thoughts? +1s?
As a backup plan, I can just update lockbox01 to get the new openssh.
However, I really think we should just update them all to stay current.
