Ok, mung time, then.  That means RedHat will be releasing 6.5.1 with
RedHat 6.1, unless those patches can be munged relatively easily. Alpha
is a big platform for RedHat.

It would be very valid to apply Uncle George's patches to a 6.5.2
alpha-only release.  If we had an alpha-only release, we would apply
them too.

Our problem is that minor releases don't get the same cross-platform
testing as major releases.

Oh, I understand.  Somehow or another I thought 6.5.2 had those patches
integrated.  My error.

I understand -- I am patch-munging as I write this, after booting into RedHat 6
on my notebook.  If Ryan K is still around, he may find it easier going, as he
did the backpatch to 6.5.1.  There are a couple of failed hunks, and some
reverses.  We'll see how it goes.

Yea, I am still around, though a bit busy with school at the
moment. I should be able to get 6.5.2beta downloaded and the alpha patches
updated for it by Monday if you want me to try. Or, if you get an updated
alpha patch before then, email it to me, and I will try it out. TTYL.
