Beware that RPMforge contains the stable releases (1.2.2) and the RPMforge 
testing repository is at 1.3.7, but I am doing a 1.3.17 build right now.

Often the latest development release have a better success rate than the 
stable release, but if you are unsure, download both and test your 
use-case with both toroughly :)
