well, I still have the part of the patch that takes out the mktemp stuff
in there, but I also am shipping mktemp rpms so that it will work on other

why are you building different rpms than the one's in LBS?

this makes no sense.  we should release xfs with the lbs so we get the
added exposure on LBS as well.
