[CentOS] How do I Get Notified of REPO Updates?

yum check-update

If you don't have the repo configured in yum, you can write a repo config, put it in /etc/yum.repos.d, and set enabled to 0.  Then use --enablerepo on it, and it will list the updates that you need (not all available updates, though).

If you need something that lists all new updates, whether you need them or not, you have more work to do.  But the python code of yum would be a good place to start.
