From bug reports on the -users list, it seems a number of people are 
unintentionally installing the CVS rpms.  I don't think this'll work, 
especially as they are (built with directfb enabled, which will break on most 
people's machines).  How about putting the rpms someplace where they can't be 
grabbed automatically?
