Is there a way to determine what package changed from CentOS 4.1 to 4.2 (or between any two versions)? I need to create a yum repository to upgrade some machines that cannot talk to the Internet.
Thanks for any help.

ls /centos4.1-rpm-dir > 4.1.rpms ls /centos4.2-rpm-dir > 4.2.rpms
comm -13 4.1.rpms 4.2.rpms

Also ... all you need to do is just copy all the 4.2 stuff into one directory and web enable it ... all the headers and repodata are already there to do a yum upgrade.
First of all, thanks for the reply. That's what I'm doing now but I'm trying to find a smaller set (possibly the absolutely minimum) since I have to upload long distance to many places.

Update one system, then look at the /var/cache/yum directory to see what packages were updated. You can use those packages directly.

You're getting into the larger realm of enterprise configuration management. Damn I really need to get moving on that book. ;->
