Hopefully most of the distro's will get  caught up  and provide the and updated
mktemp version, and the issue will go away.

Just checked my Mandrake system and it has a  -d capable  mktemp.

The last time we tried a build it failed.
Also given the unclear  situation of what can be released in regards
to xscsi  that will need to be dropped from anything that is put on oss.

Three parts to the release are being done.
0.10 Patches
0.10 based rpm based on 2.4.2 + 0.10 Patches + loopfs fix.
LBS based rpms.
The addition of the LBS rpms is contingent on them building and working,
as of last friday that did not appear to be the case.


I'll fire off a build and  see how things go if things work I'll add the rpm
to the next testX push.
