IIRC, running urpmi --auto-select will return *all* packages which are newer
than the ones currently installed, comparing what's available to everything on
your system.

If you only want packages which are "updates", then, of course:

urpmi --update --auto-select

Otherwise you will upgrade every package on your system.

It's kinda like apt-get --dist-upgrade on Debian.

Check man urpmi for command line switches to exclude certain media/packages from
the auto-select.
