Aaron,
Ideally, I think what we want to do is supply the actual SED script in
the Athena RPM(s?) and patch the file on the end-user system, rather
than applying the patch during build-time and installing the patched
file. I think its a lot easier this way in terms of upgrades by
end-users. At least, as long as we remain using the RPM system, we
should probably make it as RPM-friendly as possible.
