It is annoying that I have to keep checking whether a new major version has been released. At the moment I have package ""VirtualBox-4.1"" installed, but when 4.2 is released it will be as a separate package: ""VirtualBox-4.2"". So yum won't update it for me, because it won't see it as the same package. The way round this is to have a metapackage called ""VirtualBox-latest"" that pulls in the most recent version. That way, anyone wanting a specific version could just install VirtualBox-4.1 or whatever, and anyone wanting to stay up to date could install VirtualBox-latest and be assured of updates whenever they come along." enhancement closed installer VirtualBox 4.1.4 obsolete yum repository versioning other Linux
