Are there any plans to push this out to the SLE11 HAE SP1 update channel?

I guess I could always just grab the hawk RPM from the OBS repo and upgrade hawk... I'd rather not add the repo and risk mixing corosync/pacemaker/etc. packages between repos on a production cluster.



Also, does anyone know why hawk and crm_gui are case-sensitive for usernames when nothing else is?  (Yes, I know mixed-case usernames are bad -- I didn't set up the central auth.)  Everything else using LDAP auth (e.g. pam_ldap, apache mod_authnz_ldap, LDAP plugins to various CMSes/Wikis/issue trackers, etc.) is fine with both "adaugherity" and "ADaugherity" but hawk/crm_gui require the mixed-case version.

Not a big deal but was a real head-scratcher until I figured it out.
