Thanks :)

Thanks also to Dave Nalley volunteered to commandeer the effort to fix
this crapola I created (whee!) so I'll double check that he read this (I
assume so).

Correct AFAIK...

Oh did I mention there's some dependency epic fail going on in EL-5? I
don't know what to do about it, nor do I remember what it is, but it has
something to do with a Python library being an older version that what
we need and the maintainer isn't willing to update because it would
break previous code. I'm thinking of dropping EPEL for both of these
packages (it was odfpy that was the culprit when I was updating it to
0.9).
