well, I'm not sure what "official" rpm sources are different from
others, but the smart update tools determines dependencies, etc,

I'm curious as to how YOU/and/or/smart determine the dependencies, and
what the difference between the two is?

I'm sure any company involved with a gov't or critical needs operation
would have similar issues with a rogue/non-official update process..
