Seth, I know I volunteered for the centos/rhel patch comparisons, and haven't finished that yet, but it is an "after-hours" project. My "day job" could make good use of yum source rpm support, because we upgrade centos with mysql4, and thus all packages that link againt mysql need to be rebuilt. I wrote a bash script to do this and just made my own yum repo to handle it, but since we don't actually modify the rpms (just rebuild them on a system where we've upgraded mysql), having srpm rebuild support would simplify things. I'm no python guru, but if you can do some pointing I think I could handle this. > Could you make my day job a little less demanding?
