Description of problem: Man page of up2date doesnt even mention fedora while it is misleading with things like rhn sign up. There is also no mention of adding yum/apt sources Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.3.47-5 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.man up2date Actual results: "Update Agent - a program for updating packages on Red Hat Enterprise Linux". I am running fc3 and it is working more or less fine here. so this document should be updated to reflect that "--register Register a system with Red Hat Network. This is mainly useful for re-registering a system, as up2date will auto- matically invoke this mode if the current system isnât registered. " this is not applicable for fedora systems " /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-CA-CERT The default SSL certificate author- ity public certificate used by up2date to validate the Red Hat Net- work SSL servers. " not applicable for fedora systems " Configuration is performed through up2date- config. The Update Agent is tightly cou- pled with Red Hat Network. Visit <http://rhn.redhat.com> for access or to sign up. " not applicable for fedora systems Expected results: we probably require a seperate man page for up2date in fedora with no reference to redhat EL or the document should be updated to include all fedora related information which might be irrelevant to redhat el users and viceversa
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous comment. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to Fedora Legacy and the appropriate version. The bug could also be filed against RHEL if it is relevant there. up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully supported versions of Fedora Core, so this bug will not be fixed unless it is a security issue.
