Description of problem: Given that up2date has now been replaced by a a yum rhn plugin can I suggest that an up2date wrapper script be provided - just something that can do a majority of the functions that up2date did only it wraps around the new mehod. This will reduce confusion and support overhead once the product is released. Additionally a nice tool to edit the rhn options (other than manually editing /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date) no longer seems to be available. Again a replacement for up2date --configure would be handy in reducing confusion and support overhead in final release. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in release.
Development resources have been totally sucked in by the last-minute rhn_register requirements. This is certainly something we would have liked to have, but won't be there in time for beta2. If someone has something they think is shippable, we'd be glad to review it and possibly include it in the rpms, but we're out of time at this point.
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request.
