up2date wrong version after updating to fc4.

[Kim Lux]

I've got a problem with up2date after upgrading an FC3 server to FC4.

I installed the new rpms spoken of at the bottom of this email. 

I've edited the sourcesConfig.py file, changing releasever from "3" to
"4".

I ran up2date --upgrade-to-release=4

I also ran up2date --register

When I run up2date from the command line, I get:

Repository extras already added, not adding again
Repository updates-released already added, not adding again
Repository base already added, not adding again

When it starts it goes:

Baseurl(s) for repo:
['ftp://ftp.uci.edu/mirrors/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/'

Notice it says 3 instead of 4.

Where and how do I change up2date to look for version 4 files instead of
version 3 files ?

This is killing me !
