I think you want to look at my project: Fast OnlineUpdate for SuSE (fou4s) http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/
It sends you email notification for all updates, downloads them automatically and installation is just at your fingertips. Kernels are automatically backup'ed (vmlinuz.fou4s).
Looks nice! But I have a little problem: It seems that you can only use ftp/http/rsync server to load the patches from. A (nfs) directory like in /etc/suseservers (dir://<directory>) doesn't seem to work.
You can mount the directory containing the patches to /var/cache/fou4s/packages (or set RpmDir in /etc/fou4s.conf)
better: MNTPOINT=/var/cache/fou4s/packages/localdir mkdir $MNTPOINT mount #something# $MNTPOINT or LOCALDIR=<<directory>> ln -s $DIR /var/cache/fou4s/packages/${LOCALDIR##*/} that way you can have both remote (which will get wget/rsync'ed) or local dirs (which just happen to be there). lge
