Well the truncated ID works just fine, but thinking about the whole 
aesthetics of the situation I think it would be much better to just 
change the default value of the version parameter in the "pungi.conf" 
file.  The thing is that it has "development" set for the version 
parameter and this word is quite long.   IMO if it defaults to "devel" 
instead of "development", we would avoid using 6 characters and pungi 
would work with no problem when it is installed (Currently when pungi is 
installed from FC7 repo it will fail with the "ID to long" error if no 
change is made to the conf file. :( ).
If users start to scream about the situation too much the the ID should 
be truncated.  Just an idea.
