It uses the repos defined in yum. So updates-testing. If you're in a hurry to get an update earlier, you can use koji or bodhi command-line tools to download specific NEVRs or (in the case of bodhi) update IDs. e.g.: bodhi -D FEDORA-2012-7716 bodhi -D mesa-8.0.2-8.fc17 koji download-build --arch=x86_64 --arch=noarch 321768 koji download-build --arch=x86_64 --arch=noarch ocaml-3.12.1-9.fc17 see 'man koji' and 'man bodhi' for more details. If you do this regularly it's probably easiest to set up a local 'side' repo - I have ~/local/repo/x86_64 and a file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ to make that directory a repository (with a very short metadata expiry time). I download the packages to that path, run 'createrepo .', and then use yum to install the packages. For occasional use, you can just run yum directly on the packages; it's getting quite good at that. e.g. running 'yum update *' on a directory full of .rpms will do what you'd (probably) expect - for any of those packages you have installed, it'll update them; others will be left out.
