I long ago standardized on yum, and have been maintaining my own repos for
various flavors. (Such as, a yum repo for updates from Progeny for aging
RedHat 7.x systems - their curl-based system sucks, but sticking a yum repo
on top of an "update" yum repo managed by a cron script makes managing
updates a single-command process)
Thanks - the config on my server has been so updated, and yum update works as
expected.
