Yum Update Notifier for KDE.
This little system tray tool calls in user configurable intervals "yum check-update" and signals with different icons whether new updates are available. If updates are available it can show you the list of possible updates and can initiate a yum update.
To configure the interval (in minutes) simply edit the file and change the CHECK_INTERVAL value.
Dependencies:
- Ruby
- KDE Ruby Bindings aka Korundum
Installation:
- None is needed; simply start the program.

So I added one line. Diff below:
*** yumkup.rb.orig 2006-04-27 10:49:00.000000000 -0400
--- yumkup.rb 2006-11-07 10:28:22.831705320 -0500
*************** class MySystemTray < KDE::SystemTray
*** 134,139 ****
--- 134,140 ----
puts 'Yum exit with status ' + result.to_s
if result == 0
puts 'No updates available'
+ Qt::ToolTip::add(self,"No updates available.")
setPixmap(@okIcon)
enableUpdate(false)
elsif result == 100

It would be great if it were possible to add a list of packages to ignore - I have some packages which I do not want to update, even when updates are available. So, right now, yumkup always reports that updates are available.

--exclude=package
Exclude a specific package by name or glob from updates on all repositories.
Configuration Option: exclude
This means that rather than using "$ yum check-update" to check the updates, if u use "$ yum --exclude=package_name check-update", that particular package will not be considered even if updates are available.
You cal put a line "exclude=package_name" in xxx.repo to disable updates using that particular repo.
I hope this will help!
