That doesn't work. With that line added in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
(with or without the space before extras - a typo or should that be
there?) or with the following:

rpmmd development
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/

I get:

An error has occurred:
exceptions.AttributeError
See /var/log/up2date for more information

And in /var/log/up2date:
