I find manually adding any new packages to a simple list and using rpm -UvhF `cat list` is very much faster and more reliable. If anyone wants the list (for 8.0) and some short scripts with it email me. YOU is wasting more time than it saves. Relieing on those patch files being present as well as accurate seems to be too dangerous to me.

The packages must be there now. Maybe you wanna try again.
When I looked yesterday, the patch description files referred to short file names, but in the rpm directory only long file name rpms were available.
try fou4s beta, there is a "patch description generator" in there. ( gpd.sh ) gets recursive listings (uses rsync for this), and parses them for package-name-version-release[.something].rpm I have scripts which list the newer than locally installed ones, too. (for the rpm -Uhv `cat ` trick). or just use fou4s normaly after that. wroks with the update/ tree, the supplementary/ tree, and most of the peoples/ tree. cheers, Lars
