Yes, but what happens when the <newpackage> is not available via an up2date 
repository on the internet?  Does the above command still work?

I should have been more specific in my original post:  I am a software 
developer and will be releasing .rpm packages that may or may not get 
updated in a general package/up2date/yum repo; please presume that my .rpm 
package will only be downloadable as a single file via a 'wget' 
acquisition.  I want my users/installers of this package to be able to 
automatically acquire and install my .rpm-package dependencies via 
yum/up2date/something-else.

Is there a way to do this?  I'm looking for solutions for both Fedora and 
Redhat/RHEL.
