[WBEL-users] errata question

[jcosta@lendlease.com]

I was under the impression that you had to pay RH to use up2date to get
security errata and bugfixes for RHEL. Does RH provide those same errata
and bugfixes in SRPM form? If so, is updating as "simple" as doing
something like this:

rpm -qi foo
rpm -i foo-1.0-1.src.rpm
rpm -ba SPECS/foo.spec
rpm -ivh foo-1.0-1.rpm

If this is necessary, will it negate using Yum, apt-get, or up2date? I
don't want to have my server maintenance workload increase by using WBL.
Apologies if this question has been asked and answered, but I could not
find any concrete answer in the mailing list archives.
