Not true for me... :-) I used repositories in both Fedora (yum) and Mandrake (urpmi) and while I like them for installing new software, I actually dropped back to plain rpm for all updates, in combination to the wget scripts I've been using for ages. Why? 'cause I keep mixing up the options for urpmi and yum (and it'd get even worse if I had to add apt-get to the mix as well...), while the rpm+wget approach just works the same on both systems as well as on the Aurora systems I also have. Especially with updates, that's pretty easy, too, as there are little to no dependency problems (which is a bigger issue for installing new software).
