CentOS - Aug 2007 - How do I Get Notified of REPO Updates?

Anyone have a script to check a repo for updates and list the new files?

`yum list updates` gives you a list of packages installed on your  
system for which updates are available.

`yum list recent` gives you a list of packages that have recently  
been added to the repositories.

will those do it for you?

yum check-update

If you don't have the repo configured in yum, you can write a repo config,
put it in /etc/yum.repos.d, and set enabled to 0.? Then use --enablerepo on it,
and it will list the updates that you need (not all available updates, though).

If you need something that lists all new updates, whether you need them or not,
you have more work to do.? But the python code of yum would be a good place to
start.
