Well, that's just what I described earlier in this thread: Get a view where 
you see all installed packages (the "installation summary" filter can do just 
that - see above) and sort by versions. The blue ones come on top, and those 
are the ones you could update.

If you want to restrict that to just one repository, use the "repository" 
filter view and in that view select "installation summary" as the secondary 
filter view. Sort by version and look at the blue packages at the top of the 
list.

That's different. We'd need a new filter view that uses some time stamps. 
Would the RPM build time do that job? I don't know. Maybe at some 
repositories there are just daily builds that didn't really change?
