FYI, for those of you who rebuild from the source RPM (SRPM):

I didn't look at the 5.2 variant, but the only difference between the
6.2 and 7.0 variants is the version string. I'm guessing that only the
binaries differ, and only because the RPM format changed going to 7.0.
So if you want an SRPM and you have the latest version 3 series of RPM
itself (that understands v4 RPM packages), the 7.0 variant of the SRPM
will work on a 6.x system. I just upgraded my 6.1 system with the 7.0
SRPM.

If you intend to install the pre-built RPM, get the one closest to your
system type, so that it will be linked with the appropriate libraries.
