Re: Comparing versions & releases

I'm writing a bigger, badder, better Yum!

Just kidding.  I'd like to put together a utility that merges in the 
latest updates for fedora, whitebox et. al. into the installation tree. 
     I'm lazy, and don't want to do it by hand... and the first-time 
patch run is getting a little 'lengthly' with the machines I'm rolling out.

I could probably accomplish this with a bash script and --queryformat... 
but I'm itching to do a project in python.

Best,
Erik.
