You point up2date at a yum repo just like you point yum at a yum repo; you can't (AFAIK) just point up2date at a local yum cache. You can however set up a local yum repo, and have both yum and up2date use it. So for instance if you had the following in a repo definition in yum.conf or yum.repos.d/*.repo: [fedora-updates] name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates baseurl=http://my.local.repo/fedora/updates/$releasever/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 Then the equivalent for up2date would be the following entry in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources: yum updates-released-fc3 http://my.local.repo/fedora/updates/3/$ARCH/ A yum repo can be based on a file:// or a http:// or an ftp:// style URL.
