You might want to include rhel5 as well as centos

There are slightly out-of-date packages in the testing repo. It looks like
I'm going to be taking on the responsibility for cobbler, puppet, koan and
python-cheetah - we're just working through the technical details of how to
allow more folks to take over packages for Extras/Plus and it's taking
longer than some might like.

I have more up-to-date packages in my repository, but I have not built them
for CentOS5 yet. I had a hardware failure last week and just got my build
environment set back up today. It will be a busy couple of weeks for me, but
I'll try to find time to get the packages into mock and put something up:
