yeah but dag's repo is a really, really good repo and you can trust it.

I implement it on all my servers and I only have to watch out for
MailScanner installed perl rpm's because Dag will want to update them
(which presents problems with updating things because of the quirky
nature of MailScanner).

But some things like subversion, RH/CentOS has something like 1.4.x and
dag has 1.6.6...

# rpm -q subversion
subversion-1.6.6-0.1.el5.rf

really, really helpful
