You can avoid the 'edit' step before doing the updates by doing the
following: (on FC2)

cp /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum.conf.at-newrpms
uncomment 'at, newrpms in /etc/yum.conf.at-newrpms
Now to do the updates for these packages - you do (perhaps with an alias)
yum -c /etc/yum.conf.at-newrpms update pkg1 pkg2 etc...

With yum-2.1 (FC3) - this is possible with
yum --enablerepo=atrpms --enablerepo=newrpms update

And in the repository listing for these - you'll specify the
specific packages you want with:

includepkgs=pkg1,pkg2,...
