Difference between a test update and a release of same

[David Timms]

Hi, if I am testing a particular update say dvd+rw-tools, if the test
package is pushed into updates, are the rpm's identical ?

Or are they identical before they are signed for each repository
{updates, updates-testing} ?

I ask to confirm whether or not when the final update is released, will
I get it through yum, or will it be the identical EVR and hence not need
installing ?  {Although the --info of the package would say it is
-testing package.}

If yum will get the update version, I guess that would mean a double
download ?
