This is totally against (probably any) RPM-packaging guidelines. I
expect no CentOS developer would even consider this.

For other distros the solution is fine, as long as they are not
RPM-based :)

That's what I thought, too. But there is nothing wrong with good upgrade guidelines or different install locations, I guess.

No, thats what I think too. Repackaging into hord32-RPMs is probably most sane to do. Those who want to use the newer version will just need to install hord32-... instead of hord-... This way even configuration files and databases could be kept separately. For upgraders (manually?) http://www.horde.org/horde/docs/?f=UPGRADING.html might be a good reading.

Thats just my €0,02. Niels
