I don't believe up2date-4.1.21 resolves these variables for you... I did a "grep -r releasever *" in the up2date build tree and didn't find a hit, so my guess is that it doesn't. I didn't change anything other than the code to insert the FedoraLegacy.org public key in the rpm keyring, and the associated messages. I also think I'm recalling correctly that the FC1 version of up2date doesn't [didn't?] do mirror definitions, the way the FC2 version does, and providing a single mirror address wouldn't be the Right Thing To Do with possible users from across the globe. (Wishful thinking, I know.) :-) So I decided to leave this alone, in the hopes that people would substitute their own local mirror URLs to avoid flogging the FedoraLegacy.org site itself, as requested in previous postings to the list by Jesse K. I suppose I might take a look at the FC2 up2date and see if I can fudge it similarly. HTH, please advise if not. -- Paul W.
