While I'm not really particular to one distribution or another.... Just to answer your requests: To point up2date at a different repository, either use up2date --configure or edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date. In there, you'll see the fields 'NoSSLServerURL' and 'serverURL', point them at whatever repository you want to.. And, to run your own up2date server, the Current project is quite nice: http://www.biology.duke.edu/computer/unix/current/ Also, up2date will install packages that aren't already installed... I think it's something like up2date <packagename> - the real benefit here is that you don't have to go hunting down dependency packages... up2date does it for you.
