What I do is:

 yum -y upgrade &> /tmp/LIST
 # If it didn't work out...
 for p in \
    $(sed -n -e 's;^---> Package \(.*\) .* set to be [a-z][a-z]*$;\1;p' \
       /tmp/LIST); do
       yum -y upgrade $i
 done

But this (as the scripts on the page) f.ex. today upgraded cpp (which pulls
in a lot of gcc-related stuff), and then tries to upgrade those too, one by
one.  Ideally, after installing something it should cut down the list of
stuff to install, and if something can't be upgraded don't try the stuff
depending on it.
