This weekend it occurred to me that I likely have several out-of-date packages on my server, so I set about updating them. Two packages require an update: Redis and Git. When I check versions on the server I get old versions:
[root]# yum list redis git installed
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, universal-hooks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* EA4: 208.74.123.61
* cpanel-addons-production-feed: 208.74.123.61
* cpanel-plugins: 208.74.123.61
* base: mirror.sfo12.us.leaseweb.net
* epel: mirror.lshiy.com
* extras: mirrors.xtom.com
* updates: repos.lax.layerhost.com
Installed Packages
git.x86_64 1.8.3.1-23.el7_8 @updates
redis.x86_64 3.2.12-2.el7 @epel
A quick check against each package’s current releases reveals these to be out of date (Redis is at 6.2 and Git is at 2.34.1 as of this writing).
When I try to update each, yum says no updates are available:
[root]# yum update redis

I’ve tried yum clean all, but no success. I’ve also tried completely uninstalling the packages and installing them from scratch, but I get the same versions. yum just doesn’t seem to be aware of the major version updates. I feel like I’m missing something fairly basic. Any assistance is appreciated.
