I don't see any alpha, beta, or rcN designations in the rpm of 5.0 I have installed: [root@coyote ~]# rpm -q gutenprint gutenprint-5.0.0-0.16.fc6 So to me, I'd look at that and say that's version 5.0 and is complete as of that version. And I honestly do not know where I got it from now, that was weeks ago. >Since there will be no distinction between core and extras in Fedora 7, >presumably the issue will become moot very shortly. And your version of very shortly leaves many gnubie, and even some old hand users hanging out to dry for several months yet.
