Up2date is still used for updating/installing Fedora packages to include
development (used to be rawhide) like always.

Yum is a package management tool for doing the same thing, mainly for
3rd party repositories, as well as local directories.

Up2date can now be configured (edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file) to
include those 3rd party repositories, using yum and/or apt.
