I have attempted to use the following option
--serverURL
% sudo up2date --serverURL=http://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/os/ --dry-run
to have up2date use a different server. The error message I get is
usage: up2date [OPTIONS] [<packages>] /usr/sbin/up2date: error: no such option: --serverURL
The manual says
--serverURL=<url> Specify what server url to use.
The reason I'm attempting to use this option is because up2date has failed to complete a complete run
of updating my system. It times out when attempting to download the packages I need to update. Without
the '--serverURL' option, up2date seemed to go through a list of mirrors on its own, using this URL as the
value of serverURL,
https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC
Any other advice on getting up2date up and running?
