[rt-users] Redux: CentOS 5 RPMs

[Gary Greene]

Additionally, I've found that if you have version issues, just rebuild the
SRPM for the package with the newer module put in site_perl instead of
vendor_perl and version the package name in some way (much like library
versioning), so as to not cause issues with upstream versions from RHEL or
CentOS' main repos.
