They are hosted in a repository. If one is running openSUSE it is a one click 
install.
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home%3ASebastianHilbert/openSUSE_10.3/gnumed-client.ymp

Just click this link and it will take care of everything.
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home%3ASebastianHilbert/openSUSE_10.3/gnumed-server.ymp

Same as for Debian where one just does apt-get install gnumed-client and 
hoppefully will be able to do apt-get install gnumed-server soon.

It lives here: 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:SebastianHilbert/openSUSE_10.3

In the so called buildservice which is a server farm with different 
distributions. One just sends a spec file and the tar.gz and it will produce 
the rpm package.

yes

one can make them do more and be smarter like update detection. Anything that 
can be done through a shell script.
