All,
   Current v0.9.3 is on the ftp/web site. There are 2 API call fixes and
quite a few documentation updates. 

This version should not require a database create from 0.9.2. For once.

Please look over the new/changed documentation and give me some
feedback.

Also included is a cron job for your clients that will run up2date every
night. This is a temporary workaround until we have enough database
support for rhnsd to work. 

PS.
There's been some discussion of how to add obsoletes and conflicts to
the solvedeps call in Current. These two are important for a complete
replacement for RHN. Obsoletes appears to be fairly simple: store all
the obsolete information, and anytime someone asks for foo, check and
see if foo was obsoleted by anything. If it was, send back the new
thing.

Conflicts appears to be MUCH trickier - IE, I have no idea what to do. 
Suggestions? Is anyone out there familiar with how Yup or Red Carpet or
Apt deal with conflicts?

PPS.
Freshmeat.net is having issues. There'll be an announcement there when
they get back up.
