You can avoid the 'edit' step before doing the updates by doing the following: (on FC2) cp /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum.conf.at-newrpms uncomment 'at, newrpms in /etc/yum.conf.at-newrpms Now to do the updates for these packages - you do (perhaps with an alias) yum -c /etc/yum.conf.at-newrpms update pkg1 pkg2 etc... With yum-2.1 (FC3) - this is possible with yum --enablerepo=atrpms --enablerepo=newrpms update And in the repository listing for these - you'll specify the specific packages you want with: includepkgs=pkg1,pkg2,...
