Fair enough.

Hmm, as an alternative to fedup, I used the below method. FWIW, as I
write this, I just updated 3 machines successfully from f19 -> f20 with
these instructions:

    $ yum update yum -y; yum clean all; \
      yum --releasever=20 distro-sync --nogpgcheck -y

Followed by:

    $ package-cleanup --problems ; package-cleanup --orphans \
      package-cleanup --dupes ; package-cleanup --leaves

    $ reboot

>From the above URL, seems like you're looking for latest packstack for
Fedora. If so, they're always built first in Koji, so a consistent way
to check (that's what I've been doing):

For f20:
    $  koji latest-build f20 openstack-packstack

Or, for the very latest packstack:

    $ koji latest-build openstack-packstack

To download it (the package N-V-R is obtained from the above step) from
CLI:

    $ koji download-build --arch=noarch \
    openstack-packstack-2014.1.1-0.28.dev1238.fc22

And, to find latest builds for a specific package *across* current
releases:

    $ bodhi -L openstack-packstack

Not sure if you're aware, RDO packages for Fedora follows Fedora distro
release schedule, i.e. once N+2 is released (Icehouse), we EOL N
(Grizzly). So, to map Fedora and OpenStack releases:

  - Fedora-19 == Grizzly (2013.1)  -- is now EOL
  - Fedora-20 == Havana (2013.2)   -- is currently "supported"
  - Fedora-21 == IceHouse (2014.1) -- is currently "supported"

If you hit any issues, please post here, we'll see what we can do.
