WSUS Like product for SuSe Linux

[TantaComm]

The company I work for has several products that run on SuSe 11 SP1 and as part of what we do we are supposed to send out a weekly patch compatibility list of OS patches we have tested for the month with our products and that we certify work. This is really easy to do with our Windows servers because we can just use WSUS to push the patches out to all the Windows servers in our lab, but we cant find an easy way to do this with Linux.

Does anyone know of a WSUS type of application we can push patches in SuSe? Or another Linux based patch management system I should look at?

yes, zypper does that, just point it to your own REPO, which contains the patches/updates...
