Sorry there have been so many teething troubles this time. You would never
believe the alphas had been downloaded 2,000 times judging by the number of
bugs people have found in 2 days. Hopefully things will start to quieten

I've also removed the "make test" step from the HTML-Parser rpm as it seems
to work just fine even when one particular test produces a "dubious" result
(their word not mine) on some systems.
