Hi All,

Some time ago, I believe 2 weeks ago, I asked a question regarding the lack of 
synchronization between up2date and yum.  I noticed that yum reports no 
updates avalilable and the RH alert icon reports 6 updates available.  

I was told that it was probably due to mirrors not getting synced in a timely 
mannor and that I should wait.  I have 2 set up in my yum.conf file for 
updates:

[updates-released]

baseurl=http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
baseurl=ftp://ftp.telus.net./pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/$releasever/$basearch/

Both are listed as canadian mirriors.  Short of listing every available mirror 
in my yum.conf, how can I be sure which app is telling the truth?  

I like the idea of a visual notice and would like to keep the up2date service 
running but ony if I can trust it to be correct.

Thanks in advance,

Phil
