 I just found out there is an adobe yum repo where you can keep the
 flash-plugin up-todate.  Is any one using it?

Yup. Works well. Note two different repos exist for 32-bit stuff (adobe reader, 32-bit flash) and 64-bit stuff (flash-plugin).

Might not want to enable their repo on 100+ systems, just a few you monitor, then download to a local repo and distribute from there at 'appropriate' times. Oops, that might be inappropriate redistribution and against their terms.

I just do a nightly diff of the output of running:

yum -d0 --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=adobe makecache
yum -d0 --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=adobe info flash-plugin AdobeReader_enu 
adobeair

not that adobeeair is there any more... Of course I have comleted the Adobe forms and have permission to allow local redistribution.
