[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.7 Released!

[Wilkinson, Matthew]

Eric,

Is there anything that can be updated in the wiki HowToUpgrade instructions for cleaning up/removing jpackage and getting dependencies cleared for the yum upgrade portion? It seems I'm not the only one having yum upgrade issues with an existing 2.6 install. 

Thanks!

--Matthew Wilkinson
