[tools] [PATCH] mrepo and fuseiso

[Chowdhury, Chandan Dutta (STSD)]

Hello Dag,

>RHEL3 (?), RHEL4 and RHEL5 system.

Thanks for pointing me dkms. 

>The reason why fuse does not depend on dkms-fuse, is because 
>there are many ways one can have the fuse kernel module 
>(custom kernel, centosplus kernel, kmod package, kernel-module 
>package, dkms, custom module build).

Yes I agree.

I fully agree, I was unaware on the usage of dkms.
I will give it a shot.
