I just do a nightly diff of the output of running:

yum -d0 --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=adobe makecache
yum -d0 --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=adobe info flash-plugin AdobeReader_enu adobeair

not that adobeeair is there any more...  Of course I have comleted the 
Adobe forms and have permission to allow local redistribution.
