If Up2date is barely maintained, should I uninstall Up2date?
Why not? I did, as well as anything else involved with RHN (the
blinking icon, etc). You don't need them if you're not using them.
The "blinking icon" works just fine. There's no reason to uninstall
it. You'll probably never catch it blinking if you have the yum
nightly update service enabled, but it does accurately detect when you
need to install patches.
No, in FC4 it doesn't. up2date works fine (except with livna), yum works
fine, but the RHN applet apparently doesn't read the current format for
repository metadata, so it won't detect when updates are needed. And
there doesn't seem to be a way of preventing it from starting on login
short of removing the RPM.
