I use checkinstall to create packages (in my case .deb, but it also does 
.rpm) and then install that package on the other machines.

I have run into a problem that this process doesn't always replace the 
modules, so you are better off doing a uninstall of the old package and 
then a install of the new package than just trying an upgrade.
