    I am curious about how other approach patch management on production
    server(s).
    With HPUX we can bundle patches, test, then roll out -- we don't just apply
    patches as they come out.

    We can keep a static bundle and not having to worry about it changing. SDUX
    handles super cession, dependencies etc within the bundle. However, there
    doesn't seem to be a mechanism like this for redhat. I cant seem to find a
    way to bundle patches (taking into account dependencies, super cession,
    etc).

    Has anyone developed a methodology for patch management in a production
    environment.
    Running up2date on the system regularly is not an option for us.
