I have pushed out the following changes into the 6rolling repository area. opal - needed a patch in order for ekiga to build ekiga openafs-firstboot - updated comps.xml that has an openafs-client group - images/xen which is a link to images/pxeboot - This was needed for xen installs. I think this will be the last minor update until next week. I hope everyone is able to have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
