Heh.  No worries.  Sorry, rereading my first email, it sounds snotty,
which wasn't the intention.  The email I saw and responded to said the
community repo was in beta, but I saw nothing further saying it was
out of beta.  So, I was  un-articulately asking if there were still
beta-issues or if I found a new buglet.  I know that all of the repos
represent a lot of work on your part, and for that I say "Thanks!"

Appears to be a new buglet.  I see dell-firmware-addon is in EPEL so
I'll probably use that, or manually install the rpm's for this one
1950 that's giving me fits at the moment.

Is it Monday?
