Thomas Chung at fedoranews.org has forked this package and called it gyum (see 
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/gyum/), where FC1 & FC2 RPMs can be found. He's 
also forked rhn-applet to create yum-applet (see 
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/yum-applet/), so you can see in your Gnome/KDE 
panel that you're up to date with all updates; this applet allows you to call 
up gyum if you right-click on its icon in the notification area.
