On Fedora, up2date serves as a front-end to yum. up2date is *not* a front-end to yum; whilst it can access yum-style repositories, it can also access apt-style repositories (which yum cannot) and does not share a codebase with yum. In fact, you could quite happily remove both yum and up2date-gnome (the GUI) and the console- based up2date client would still work just fine. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
