Will yum check-update return list of available versions to be upgraded to in some order (ascending or descending).
Thanks
Answer
You would use yum list updates for that. It will only show latest available versions of packages that can be upgraded. There is no particular order of the output.
If you would like to upgrade a package to a specific version, you can check which versions are present in the repository using the following command:
yum list --showduplicates <packagename>
