yeah but it IS NOT deployable if you are mixing libraries and apps like horde

have you ever maintained 20 machines they all need pear and only some of
them horde? pear you can distribute after some tests with rsync and ONE
command line to thousands of machines, you can NOT do this any longer
the same way if there is horde included

take a look of the script below

* make a normal-sysupdate on a admin-machine with test-environment
* with another script copy all from "/var/cache/yum/" in local dir
* createrepo localdir
* distribute-updates.sh
* no interest if there are 10, 100 or thousand of machines
* they will all get only what they need
* nothing ever will touch any config

show me this 1:1 with pear, do it and after 3 years we discuss again
which of us had any issues over all the time!

[root at buildserver:~]$ cat /buildserver/distribute-updates.sh
#!/bin/bash
source server-list.txt
function rh_push_updates
{
 echo $1
 ssh root@$1 "yum clean all && yum -y update"
 echo ""
}
for item in ${RH_TARGET_SERVERS[*]}
do
 rh_push_updates $item
done
