[tools] up2date on FC7

I'm running a few RHEL systems (with up to date subscriptions purchased
from RedHat), as well as several Fedora Core 7 machines. I have my
firewall locked down to only allow outbound http|https access from one
FC7 machine. Is it possible to install up2date on FC7, so I can use
mrepo to download updates from redhat?

When I try to run it now, I get errors like this:

4ES-x86_64: Mirror packages from rhns:///rhel-x86_64-es-4-extras to
/var/mrepo/4ES-x86_64/extras
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rhnget", line 24, in <module>
    die(1,'up2date is not installed. Aborting execution')
NameError: name 'die' is not defined
mrepo: Mirroring failed for rhns:///rhel-x86_64-es-4-extras with

Thanks,
