Sorry if I was not clear.  The RPMs I prepared use Lamar Owen spec from RC1,
but use final release sources.  Upgrading from final release to final release
should not be a problem, I think.  I only recommended it because I understand
from his recent posts sthat Lamar has many inprovements to the RPM install
script that I have not taken advantage of.
