I don't think this is *really* necessary: [bgmilne:/home/bgmilne/rpm/BUILD]# cat /etc/cron.daily/update #!/bin/sh LOG=/var/log/updates rm -f /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/*.rpm unset ftp_proxy unset http_proxy echo "Running updates on `date`" > $LOG urpmi.update --wget ftp1 ftp2 >> /var/log/updates 2>&1 #urpmi --wget --auto-select --auto --no-verify-rpm >> /var/log/updates urpmi --wget --auto-select --auto >> /var/log/updates 2>&1 ls /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/*.rpm >/dev/null [ $? -eq 0 ] && rpm -Uvh /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/*.rpm >> /var/log/updates 2>&1 > -It would report/list what packages had been updated after runing the update > cooker command and list the changes made to them (scan the changelog in the > spec file). Subscibe to the changelog list for this, you get the changelog *before* upgrading, so you can avoid packages (via skip.list) if necessary. > - List requests for moreinfo on bugs and specific requests for testing of new > or updated packages.

I think a 'build-from-source' tool would be more important to cookers.
