CentOS 5 x86_64 -- where is up2date?

I'm trying to create an install server with all updates
installed, using a script that works on CentOS 4.5, but fails on
CentOS 5.0 as the /usr/bin/up2date program isn't available.

``yum search up2date'' returns references to up2date, but when I
run ``yum install up2date'' it doesn't find anything to update.

Here's the output of ``yum search up2date''.

Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files

booty.noarch                             0.80.4-1               base            
Matched from:
Small python library for use with bootloader configuration by anaconda
and up2date.

I have installed anaconda and anaconda-runtime.
