[tools] New upcoming mrepo 0.8.5

[Dag Wieers]

Hi all,

Nearly after 2 years I am preparing a new release. This release will add a 
lot of new features that have been sitting in subversion, see the 
ChangeLog for a full list.

The most important change I added today is the added RHEL4 rhn and 
up2date_client libraries in /usr/share/mrepo/, albeit not in the exact 
same location as before (since I now added rhnlib as well for SLES and 
other distros). So it looks for /usr/share/mrepo/{rhn,up2date_client}

Also new are the unionfs (merge all your CDs to a single directory) and 
fuseiso (mount as user) patches that are now enabled by default if your 
system has both binaries installed. What is missing is a proper check for 
fuse-support though.

I would be very interested if as many people as possible can check these 
patches. They work fine for me but your mileage may vary.

Also, I would be very interested if people can verify the createrepo-check 
functionality, there have been many reports that it did or did not work 
and to be honest I lost track what versions of createrepo works with the 
patch.

Let me know ASAP, thanks :)
