I just noticed a minor thing with the 3.0.7 release (which my scripts 
didn't pick up before because I'd not turned up the verbosity level high 
enough)...

3.0.5 contains nedit-5.4-1 but in 3.0.7 this seems to have reverted to 
5.3-4.1 (as the vendor shipped), though 30x/SRPMS/ contains the newer
nedit-5.4-1.src.rpm package (well obviously)...

From the release-notes:

but later it says:

So I'm *assuming* that this is an accident rather than a deliberate 
reversion.

Apologies for not spotting this before.  This is the only package (that we 
install) that shows a lower revision for 3.0.7 than in 3.0.5

If it is intentional the comment about using nedit-5.4-1 should probably 
be corrected.
