Re: Re: YUP and RPM dependencies

rhlupdate
   rhlupdate is a small configurable perl script that will connect to
   your favorite Red Hat site and update all of the RPMS you have
   installed. It also allows you to specify what packages not to
   upgrade.

It's there, you just have to look a bit around...

Have you ever used apt-get? These tools like rhlupdate and rpmfind
are not exactly like apt-get.. which is an awesome program.

Agreed!  And that is what I am looking for.

Also, I did finally get YUP to pass the sanity checks (dependencies), but
it still isn't quite what I am looking for, as it provides no way of
selecting which packages I want to install (manually), or just downloading
them rather than installing them.  I don't like to download a massive
number of RPMS and have them all automatically installed :)

Of course.. advanced selection and options, etc. are on the TODO list.
It is only version 0.5.4, after all. :)
