Yes, we've established where we are now, but we need a path to be

Actually that fails more times than it works from what I hear.
I don't know what you hear. I know that I use up2date on CentOS4, and
the only problem _I_ have with it is that it can't find source packages
which I take to be because CentOS repos are structured incompatibly. But
for that, I'd likely add "--src" to the up2date below (or configure it
in the relevant configuration file).
I use up2date because this works, and AFAIK always has:
up2date -duf
When I want to apply the updates, they're downloaded ready for me. I
also use the repackage facility, though I've never had need to use it
(so I don't know whether it actually works).
