At the moment they are all at 6.4.3 and identical, so it doesn't really 
matter. I'm pretty much ready for 6.4.4 though, once it's out.

Maybe it would be easier to use the copr build system. It's not the 
same, of course. However, you can build packages for EL5 and 6 and Intel 
arches, based on SRPMs. The licenses all have to be free though, which 
limits the usefulness for ELGIS, I suppose.

I can try to do a preliminary 6.4.4 for Fedoras in copr. Markus may like 
that!

In other news, Saga 2.1.2 hit Fedora.
