Hi Everyone,
 I'm happy to announce yum 2.2.0. This is the first in the stable
release of the code that many of you have been using in the 2.1.X
development branch.

You can get all of the code and packages built on fedora core 3 from:
 http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/2.2/

Changes:
 - merge in urlgrabber update to make it work with http repos and 
   python 2.4
 - proxy fixes to allow: 
   1. functional proxy support in yum.conf 
   2. disabling proxies on per-repo basis via proxy=_none_ option in 
      repo configuration
 - resolvedeps and install-by-provided-file functionality
   yum resolvedeps "foo > 1.1" will return the best package providing
   yum install /usr/lib/foo will install the pkg providing that file
 - tsflags support in yum.conf - set transaction flag options:
   - nodocs
   - test
   - noscripts
   - notriggers
 - documentation changes for all of the above
 - fixed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=147275
 - clean up a bunch of misc minor buglets.

let me know what breaks. I really hope there's nothing obvious broken
here. :)
