I usually like to download and install updates on my system myself,
using the info provided by rhn-applet-tui (and gui) to tell me what
packages have updates available. Recently, perl-TimeDate popped
into the list on one of my machines, so I went to download it off
the updates site, but couldn't find it anywhere. So I ran up2date
perl-TimeDate, and sure enough up2date retrieved and installed the
package... So now I'm just wondering, where does up2date get this
package from? Shouldn't it be on the updates page too?
thx!

Assuming you have a default configuration, if the dependency is not in
the "update" archive up2date will check the "distribution" archive;
for example one mirror source for a "distribution" archive is at:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/1/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/
where you'll find perl-TimeDate-1.1301-5.noarch.rpm
