[Yum] Download unstable?

[Karsten Jeppesen]

Sounds like a good idea. I was just trying to be nice by using what YDL 
has released, in the hope that that would be the appropriate product 
(sigh).
Ok - Seth - which source rpm generates the stable 2.0.4 rpm? 
(yum-2.0.4-20040103.src.rpm ?)

Regards,
Karsten
