Local Packages
Over the weekend I've started populating a repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Since CentOS5 isn't out yet, I've been building against the last beta release (4.92). I believe this will be OK for the resulting packages since there won't be any soname or other major changes between 4.92 and 5. Building the packages this way has caused me to have to update a large number of packages to get the dist tag to work properly (i.e. to be rhel5 rather than c4.92 or rhel4 etc.). These changes have resulted in lots of package updates for other distribution releases since I try to use the same SRPM for all distributions.
Other updates today:
Updated getmail to 4.7.3
Updated perl-ConfigReader-Simple to 1.25
Updated perl-HTML-SimpleLinkExtor to 1.17
Updated perl-Test-Prereq to 1.033
