Yes, but what happens when the <newpackage> is not available via an up2date
repository on the internet? Does the above command still work?
I should have been more specific in my original post: I am a software
developer and will be releasing .rpm packages that may or may not get
updated in a general package/up2date/yum repo; please presume that my .rpm
package will only be downloadable as a single file via a 'wget'
acquisition. I want my users/installers of this package to be able to
automatically acquire and install my .rpm-package dependencies via
yum/up2date/something-else.
Is there a way to do this? I'm looking for solutions for both Fedora and
Redhat/RHEL.
