Description Jeremy West 2006-10-09 20:54:59 UTC

Description of problem:  The up2date man page is very misleading.  I actually
found this problem using the GFS/Custering docs which are also buggy.  The
latest version of up2date will not work with "up2date --installall --channel
<channelname>"  You get the error back "no such allowed channel: --channel"  If
you look at the man page you are told to use --installall and --channel in
combination.  Yet if you run "up2date --help" you see that all you need to type
is "up2date --installall=<channelname>" 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.4.69-25
