If those count as newer than:
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.el5_3.i386.rpm
NetworkManager-0.7.0-4.el5_3.x86_64.rpm
then you will probably also need to release a version for sl53 (with
'sl5_3' as the dist tag) or anyone attempting to upgrade from sl52 to 53
won't get the expected (new) version of NetworkManager. Or am I missing
some cunning trick?
I've recently been going round removing NetworkManager from quite a few
machines where it had been pulled in by accident... (oops)
