Hi Les,

This is something I need to take into consideration, and I've been
looking at many different control panels to see how they handle it,
and it seems that a lot of vendors have their own repository, which
the client (or setup script) will add to the yum repositories list,
and from there I could control the software being used. i.e. If I know
my stuff works well on Apache 2.2.0, but not yet on 2.2.3 (for
example), I could have the Apache 2.2.0 rpm in my repository, untill
such a time that I feel it's ready to add 2.2.3.
