Dag Wieërs: mrepo 0.8.6 released

I just released mrepo 0.8.6 with RHEL 4.7's RHN/up2date code included which makes mrepo work on other distributions without requiring to copy those libraries.

Some of the highlights include:

Support for RHEL5 and CentOS-5. Added YaST Online Update support. Added fuseiso support (root access no longer needed). Added unionfs support to merge ISOs to a single tree. Faster relinking of repositories. Caching of directory indexes to prevent regenerating repositories. Proxy-support for rhnget and gensystemid. Added rhnget --list option for searching packages. Added rhnget --filter option for selecting downloads. Added rhnget --source option for downloading SRPMs from RHN.

See the ChangeLog for more details.

A big thank-you to the following list of people for helping out with features and bugfixes in this release:

Ian Forde Gareth Armstrong Oliver Falk Tom G. Christensen Francois Aucamp Bruno Cornec Frederic Pica Gabe Johnson Bjoern Engels Chandan Dutta Chowdhury Alexander Bergolth Nicole Hähnel Leo Eraly

Please let me know if you find any problems with this release as I plan to fix any outstanding issues quickly in a subsequent 0.8.7 release.
