The place they were put. The 'customary place' has been
v{version}/RPMS/{distribution} so that they would be in
pub/binary/v7.4/RPMS/suse-{version}. Their source RPM would go there too. I
have no problem with the name of the RPM's themselves, just where they were
put. As long as they don't have a PGDG in the release tag I'm happy with the
package names.

I asked Marc to do it.

I would kindof liked a heads up on this; I had some plans for the RPMset that
I'm now going to delay. But it is good for SuSE users to have something
there now, I agree.
