I have been gradually updating my Fedora servers from a variety of
releases ranging to F14 to F18 to more current versions. In order
to do these as in-place updates rather than re-installs (which
saves many headaches) I have had to do this gradually. Most are now
running F19 with one "pioneer" at F20. But one that started at F14
seems to be stuck at F17, since F17 has been archived, and thus I
cannot do "yum install fedup" since the links in
/etc/yum.fedora.repo are now invalid.
What is the best workaround? I know that once I have fedup
installed, I can go to F19 with a minimum of hassle (mostly the
apache config file restructuring, but that machine does not run
apache anyway). Bu thow do I get there?
- can I find the F17 fedup rpm in
archive.fedoraproject.org and
just install it manually? - can I update the /etc/yum.fedora.repo
file to point to the archived set? (Can you send me a working
file?)

I just successfully installed fedup on an F17 box from the updates
repo, so you may not have a problem.
