Hello,
I have updated the drbd packages so that they are using the Fedora style 
of packaging.  I changed the packaging to be like Fedora's because it 
looks like drbd might make it into RHEL 6 (or 6.1), and if it does make 
it in, it will be packaged the Fedora way.

You should still be able to just do
   yum --enablerepo=sl-testing install drbd
and it should pull in all the appriate rpm's.

Here is a list of all the drbd packages.
drbd
drbd-bash-completion
drbd-heartbeat
drbd-pacemaker
drbd-udev
drbd-utils
drbd-xen

I have also added the kernel-module-drbd for the new 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 
kernel.

Please let me know what you think.  I'd like to put this into contrib so 
that we might put it into SL 5.6.

Thanks
Troy
