RE: Make up2date use new-style Yum repository?

As far as I can tell, up2date only speaks the old version of Yum,
where you created the repository with 'yum-arch'. However, many yum
repositories are the new-style 'createrepo' type; up2date gets a 404
error when it looks for the 'headers' directory, since it doesn't
exist. Is it possible to make up2date speak to these newer
repositories, or will I need to find a different workaround?

As far as I know, you can't. I tried to use up2date on Fedora Core 5 (where it was deprecated) and tried to configure client for newstyle yum repo, even tried to create my own header files wihout a luck. I just gave up and started to use yum.
