What about tailoring either apt (the Debian automated package tool) or
alternatively rpmfind? apt is supposed to be very good at doing upgrades, and
it's (as well as is rpmfind) runnable on a command line. Theoretically, at
least, all one needs to do is to point /etc/apt/sources.list at a set of
Mandrake mirrors, and then do an 'apt-get upgrade'.
There is an apt SRPM somewhere in /contrib and there was an announcement
about it on this list a few weeks ago. It doesn't seem to work, and it needs
configuring / tailoring for mandrake (such as a list of mirrors in its config
file premade). When I tried it at least, I got a bunch of errors about not
being in people's keyrings.
apt in cooker might be really cool. Or maybe use rsync, but it probably
doesn't grok the dependencies.
