Everything but the (AND CHECKING....) could be done in rpm macros.
But then what would our bosses pay us the big bucks for?
If I didn't work so hard, they would probably even charge me for the coffee!

Actually, someone with decent coding skills could write a shell script to get
the new version every month and do most of the work. It could do the upgrade
of the scripts to a point of mailing a diff to the admin and stop there.

But it only takes a few minutes a month to do it manually, unless you are
testing the betas, then you have more time to spend with it anyway.
