I have been using a similar approach in the sense that I have specific
directories that host packages (actually, softlinks to the real
packages in the software depot) for specific class of hosts.

One of the differences is that I am lazy, and just ran "rpm -Uv *"
:-)


There is something I don't like about my setup:

  - I have to maintain the directories:
      Create/delete links to the real packages whenever I upgrade one.
      Of course cfengine helps here, but I need to update its
      configuration too.

Another thing I don't like from my setup (and in this case from yours
too), is to blindly install whatever is in the directory.

So, after seeing your solution and re-thinking mine I think I will try
yet another approach.

I have not implemented it yet, I am still in the drawing board, I will
get back to the list as soon as I have it working.


Thanks for the advice!
