Sure there are, but it's a recursive process and...
I presume up2date or something similar. rpmfind (the command-line
tool) definitely does.
I personally prefer APT for RPM, with which I've kept my system up to
date for over a year. One command (ok, 2, on a single command-line)
each day with my morning cuppa and I'm on the bleeding edge again.
