Hi,
Since up2date on FC has no longer anything to do with the Red Hat Network I was wondering why the relevant configuration directory in /etc/sysconfig is still called rhn. Isn't it time to change that into up2date instead? Maybe keep a compatibility symlink around for one release or so?

It would have to be a configure option, since it's certainly still built with RHN support. As such, I'm not sure it's worth it.

Bill, maybe a configure option to build for RHEL or FC _would_ be reasonable? I mean, the up2date package contains many RHN components that are not appropriate for FC and in some cases are quite confusing; such as people thinking they still have to register with RHN. Is it not possible to strip all RHN components from the Fedora build of up2date?

Here's a related bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=127831
I hadn't considered the config file name when I filed that report. It might be a good idea for you to post the other changes that you'd like to see to that report so they can get done at the same time.
Cheers, Brent
