Hi all! Now that I've thought about it some more I don't like that plan that much anymore, as then it's not possible to differentiate if people have the old or the new package installed. Sure, that shouldn't be many people yet, but nevertheless it could create problems. Opinions? Just ignore that? Or simply do a script-build mass rebuild of EPEL5 with increased %release?

We'll have also other issues to resolve (like qt4 on EPEL4 > qt4 on RHEL5, and if we check we'll probably find more) and we need to keep a rawhide attitude (aka flexibility) otherwise we'll have to start using epochs before launching.
