Why not a "up2date -u" which will download _and_ update the packages in one step?


Can anyone tell me whether the up2date only updates new releases of a
software or new versions of a software, or both?

Both. However, it probably does not know accurately what you have installed. Issue a "up2date -p" command (p for profile, I think) and your computer will tell RHN exactly what packages are installed so that you get notified of all applicable downloads.
