yum does update old packages

Update old packages? It's the same like sudo apt-get update in other distros. YUM is mainly for RHEL/CentOS environment. YUM is a software package manager similar like PRM. You can upgrade version of packages, or just update the old (usually, fix some security bugs).

It is almost the same like apt-get in package manager of other Linux distributions. yum manages files.
