Description of problem:
Include a program that will take a directory of updated rpms, and update an
installation tree.  I would also like a program that will run through genhdlist,
buildinstall, pkgorder, etc., to create the installation tree, and then run
mkisofs to build the CDs.  When creating CDs, I often have updated errata that I
want to include in my CD, and it would be nice to already have something
included in anaconda.  I have a bash script and a perl script that, when given
the updates directory, and the installation directory, will query the rpm
packages in the updates directory and will copy them to the install directory
(if they are newer), and copy the old rpms to `olddir`.  I can include these
scripts if need be, but I do not have a python script (as it seems everything is
python :o)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try to build CDs

I'm not sure this is something that should be part of the anaconda distribution.

Any thoughts Jeremy?

If such a thing were to fall into our laps, I wouldn't be against including it
as we currently do checkrepository.  Just getting it documented (which I hope to
do) will at least be a good first step

There are multiple scripts available for this.  Not going to really include any
one over any other (as each tends to have their own specific good reason for
existing)
