0.5.2 won't.    0.5.0 is a development/testing "branch".    Given a 
sufficient period of testing and questions on IRC, if there are no 
problems, I'll push it to the mirrors as 0.6.0 (stable).

Failing any additional feeback, I'll rely on what I've tested and will 
push in a couple of weeks.

This may already be corrected upstream.  Depends when your checkout was.

Hopefully they aren't any more funky than the specfile already included 
with Cobbler in the source checkout.
