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.
