Yast update format supported?

[Andreas Bach Aaen]

In SUSE SLES9 the updates are provided in a archive format thich have the 
following layout:


/patches/
/rpm/<arch>/
/sources/

in the patches directory there are small text files "patch-<number>" with 
extraction of the rpm dependencies.

This is most probably a yast invention, but it's not the same as the yast2 
archive format resently added to smart.

So if this archive format already is supported, what the name of this type?

Regards,
