Uhm, you don't, do you?  When, again, was SCO OSR 5.0.6 released?  I'm
betting it was near that long ago.

Release = 3.2v5.0.6
KernelID = 2000-07-27

More like 7+ years.  Bit of a double standard, wouldn't you say?  And
if we're going to the fluid nature of the OS and how often thing are
updated--don't.  It's not an excuse unless your product flat-out -can't- be
compiled against an older library and/or kernel.  I -highly- doubt that fP
has anything in it that falls into that category..

And there's nothing uncommon about maintaining multiple rpm's for different
versions of the OS.  Hell, I can still get MIT X11 binaries built for
glibc1 in a tarball.
