thats just to find the definitions of the repositories configured in yum.
That is NOT reusing the metadata parsing codepath that yum has.
Hell, its not even reusing yum's parsing of the repo definitions...
its just grabbing the definitions that yum sees without even doing
yum's variable substitutions..which is a primary unfixed bug that
makes up2date difficult for people to use in fc4 using
fedora-release's default configs for updates.

Marvel at /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/sourcesConfig.py and find:
 #FIXME:
 releasever = "3"
