keeping updated rpms built from source with up2date

[awww]

Hello,

I usually install binary rpm packages and keep them updated calling up2date -u in a cron job, but what happens if I build a rpm from source? Will it be updated as well like others with up2date?

Thanks in advance for your help

No, rpms you compile yourself are not updated.

I have a postfix rpm I need to reuild by source, what can I do in order to receive a notify if up2date finds a new package available, is this possible?

In short, no. Subscribe to the postfix mailing list to recieve updates when a new version comes out, then recompile.
