Yellow Dog Linux Bugfix Announcement
------------------------------------

Package:	yup		
Issue Date: 	July 25, 2001
Priority:	high		
Advisory ID: 	YDU-20010725-9


1. 	Topic:

	Improved version of yup, the Yellow Dog
	Update program is available.


2. 	Problem:

	The version of yup that shipped with
        YDL 2.0 had some fairly major functionality
        problems and lack of decent error handling.

	This update improves the networking code,
	handles more error cases properly, and
	drastically reduces the number of operational
	problemsencountered with the last revision.


3. 	Solution:

   	a) Updating via yup...

		Running yup should automatically
		retrieve the new version.

   	b) Updating manually...
   	The update can also be retrieved manually from our ftp site
   	below along with the rpm command that should be used to install
   	the update.  (Please use a mirror site)

   		ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/updates/yellowdog-2.0/ppc/RPMS/
		rpm -Fvh yup-0.7.6-2.noarch.rpm
