So whats happened is that when I was bootstrapping the tag, it tagged
them in the order that 'ls' came across them? Ok, that seems fair.
[root at emerald export]# ls ovs-2.1/kern*src.rpm
ovs-2.1/kernel-2.4.21-52.0.0.0.2.EL.src.rpm
ovs-2.1/kernel-2.6.18-8.1.6.0.18.el5.src.rpm
ovs-2.1/kernel-2.6.9-42.0.10.2.3.EL.src.rpm
ovs-2.1/kernel-2.6.9-42.32.0.0.4.EL.src.rpm <-- last in list, ergo last
to be tagged, and thus the winner.
