It may be possible to do yum for all but the djb licensed bits. Which
is okay, since the djb licensed bits do not change very often
(qmail-toaster, ucspi-tcp, daemontools, etc), while the stuff that
does change often is permissible in binary (clamav, spamassassin,
courier, maildrop, etc).

I don't think that binary distribution is allowed by the license (DJB).
I'd like to make the upgrade process as painless as possible too, which is
why I've written the qtp-newmodel script(s). Jake and I have worked on
putting together the qt-plus package, which will include other goodies too,
one of which is a script that EE wrote to notify you when a toaster upgrade
is available.
That's about as simple as I can figure to make the upgrade process. I'm sure
that qtp-newmodel (et al) will undergo further enhancements as people use it
and get ideas. All suggestions are welcome.
The plan is for qt-plus to be a noarch.rpm package, and will be yum-able (fwiw).
