Hey folks,
 This should be the last release of yum before 2.6.0. Right now it's
looking reasonably stable but who knows what's been broken :)

I'm sure you're asking - why is this 2.5.3 and not 2.5.2? Well, that's
b/c there was a 2.5.2 for about 10 minutes and something was wrong. But
it was already uploaded and tagged so pulling it back wasn't going to
work. So a 2.5.3 exists instead. Just ignore 2.5.2 - it's not badly
broken it just made things like pup not work too well.

Source RPM:
 http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/2.5/yum-2.5.3-1.src.rpm

Notable Changes:

--enablerepo, --disablerepo can now do comma-separation for repos
  ex: --enablerepo='foo, bar, baz' which will enable those repos

- speed up searchPackageProvides by using the sqlite glob query
- merged in lots of the anaconda transaction set changes
- plugins have access to groups
- plugins api version has iterated to 2.2
- lots of misc fixes - see ChangeLog for details.


let us know what breaks - I'd like to make 2.6.0 fairly good.

thanks
