Redhat Linux security updates.

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

The traditional, tried-and-true method for dealing with these concerns
is to have a "Development" environment where you test out new packages
to make sure they do not break your setup, a "Test/Staging" environement
that mimicks production for final testing and validation, and then,
finally, your production environment.
 
You can explore other things, such as the RPM rollback feature, but
fundamentally, if you are deploying untested stuff straight to your
production environement, you deserve whatever you get, and whatever you
do, it might not be recoverable without reinstall.

	Hello, 

	 

	Is there any way to remove red hat security updates without
uninstalling the complete package and then again installing it?

	 

	Redhat network (rhn.redhat.com) releases security updates to
various packages. As we apply them to the systems I am worried if
something breaks, then I need to remove and reinstall the package and in
process loose all the customization. 

	Other option is to restore everything from tape, which is time
consuming option. 

	 

	 

	Thanks for help, suggestions.
