CentOS 7 (through and including 7.1) offered the
Applications | System Tools | Software Update
applet. This applet allowed users to update CentOS 7.
Where is the applet in 7.2 v1511? I do not see that anymore.
Yes, I know of yum -y update. I executed the yum -y update command, which is how I got from CentOS 7 to CentOS 7 (7.2 v1511).
This is a bug in the Upstream(Redhat) which has been reported: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1290868
You can solve this issue by installing the gnome-packagekit-updater package
with this command.
sudo yum install gnome-packagekit-updater
Once this package is installed you will find the ICON where it used to be. i.e: Applications | System Tools | Software Update
You can also start the GUI Updater from command line once it is installed by invoking this command:
sudo gpk-update-viewer
