In an oem envrironment, often times you you need to keep repositories of
errata rpms around.
Something like YUM can work for this, but only if:
- it downloads but does not install the rpms (i.e. it can be set to
do this).
- it can determine what needs to be downloaded from the repository.
up2date will allow you to download rpms and not install them, but it
downloads them all ever time
because ultimately its checking the systems database. In an evironment
where you are trying to just
keep a repository of all the latest errata for a particular release, this
just wastes time.
