Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm aware of how to manually get the rpms to 
install.  I'm a developer for SME Server and we are looking to move our base 
to COS5.  We currently use rpmforge packages if they exist to assist in us 
not having to build packages.  I'm pushing potential issues upstream to 
attempt to assist both our user base and also others that use rpmforge 
packages.
