Somebody suggested to me using autorpm, which works well, apart from
the bad problem with the menu package which opens the RPM db after rpm
exits and causes successive rpm commands to fail. Either remove menu
or set DURING_INSTALL=1 to fix that.
To save you wading through the man pages, drop something like the file
below into /etc/autorpm.d/addons/cooker-updates.conf
Obviously, replace /opt/mdk/cooker by your place in /usr where you
mirror.
Hope this helps.
Maybe autorpm should be in main distro?
