Hi! I have an directory full with rpms that are installed on some machines.. what is the best way to update those rpms to the latest version? are there more optimal approaches then searching for each rpm names in an update repo and download one by one?

Do you mean that you have just a local directory of RPMS or that you maintain a local repo? If just a directory then you may want to read: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalRepos http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror In either case, it you want to see what updates are available from a particular repo, say "reponame": yum --disablerepo \* --enablerepo reponame check-update You could then download and put RPMS in your local repo as desired.

If I understand this correctly then you want to update
the LOCAL RPM files to the latest version?
I am not sure but you could try "yumdownloader"
with some kind of bash script:
for f in `ls -1 *rpm`; do
echo Working on file: $f
rpm=${f##*/}
name=${rpm%%-[0-9]*}
echo The name of the rpm: $name
yumdownloader $name
done
This is NOT tested but you could give it a try!
