0.5.2 won't.    0.5.0 is a development/testing "branch".    Given a
sufficient period of testing and questions on IRC, if there are no
problems, I'll push it to the mirrors as 0.6.0 (stable).

Failing any additional feeback, I'll rely on what I've tested and will
push in a couple of weeks.

If 0.6.0 is likely in a couple weeks, I have no need for an 0.5.2

This may already be corrected upstream.  Depends when your checkout was.

You don't realize what I did.
I expanded the latest source rpms I could find, 0.5.1
think .spec file in the download directory was a bit newer
took the source code from git
mashed it all together and built an rpm

Think to get it right all I would need to fix the %files section

There may be other more subtle problems.
I don't know!

I'll be glad when I have something I have a bit more faith in.

Hopefully they aren't any more funky than the specfile already included
with Cobbler in the source checkout.
