Hmm, I didn't know anyone use Xymon on MES5, I could look at providing 
packages and/or updates ...

I've been on "paternity leave" ... my package queue is quite long and free 
time is in short supply.

Well, for Mandriva, without migration scripts, I can probably get 4.3.2 into 
Mandriva svn quite soon.

The bigger issues from a Xymon project perspective are handling upgrades from 
the diverging (I think there are at least 4) spec files that exist. Since I 
haven't seen much feedback about the issues in question, I will carry on on 
the Mandriva packages and rebuild for RHEL, and leave Xymon svn's spec file 
alone until there is some consensus or discussion of the issues.
