Could you give more detail? I see that in my FC3 installation, sources
uses the standard yum (remote) repos. Do you mean that he (and I) should
add a "dir" repo pointing to the yum repo cache?
Does having run "yum makecache" affect this? For that matter, does
makecache have to be done more than once, or will yum keep it up-to-date as
yum is used?
You point up2date at a yum repo just like you point yum at a yum repo;
you can't (AFAIK) just point up2date at a local yum cache. You can
however set up a local yum repo, and have both yum and up2date use it.
So for instance if you had the following in a repo definition in
yum.conf or yum.repos.d/*.repo:
[fedora-updates]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://my.local.repo/fedora/updates/$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
Then the equivalent for up2date would be the following entry
in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources:
yum updates-released-fc3
http://my.local.repo/fedora/updates/3/$ARCH/
A yum repo can be based on a file:// or a http:// or an ftp:// style
URL.
