We moved all SL4 clients (the majority of systems here is still SL3, but 
the number of SL4 production systems is significant now) to these in May, 
and they've been working very well. We're also running two test files 
servers using these packages. You definitely don't want to run the 1.4.0 
servers. In fact our production servers are SL3/1.2.13 and will be for a 
while (I'm a coward).

IMHO, SL4.4 should come with 1.4.1 at least.

I was hoping they'd release 1.4.2 in time. There's a beta3 I haven't built
packages from yet. But maybe we should aim for putting this into the SL4.4 
beta, with the existing 1.4.1 packages as a fallback? Of course we can
have 1.4.2 in testing again, and maybe in fastbugs later (aren't the 
intervals between updates going to be longer after 4.4?).


NB just remove the leading "0." from the release before rebuilding 1.4.1,
    other than that the spec should be good I hope

Cheers,
 	Stephan
