The only thing that seems halfway usable is pakiti: http://pakiti.sourceforge.net/ People who think that running "yum update" every night is a solution should go back and do some research. This is how it might work at home (mostly), but not the way you deploy patches to a large number of systems who serve different purposes and thus have different package-selections, user-requirements, patch-policies and downtime-schemas etc.pp. I hope to be able to test pakiti soon. cheers, Rainer
