The upgrade script I've written creates a 'sandbox' (chroot jail) for 
building the rpms, so it doesn't affect the running system during the 
rpmbuilds (compiles). Once all the binary rpms are built, it upgrades 
all the (modified) packages at once, so down time is minimal. The 
toaster is effectively an rpm based collection of apps at this point. 
You could add the binary rpms to a local yum repository and use yum to 
do the update if you so desired.
