Plone - Zope on Fedora Core 4

[Jon Steffan <jon fedoraunity org>]

Team,

    I've been pushing updates to plone and zope and would like to get
FC4 updated as FC4 is still offered by many hosting companies. The Plone
migration from 2.1.2 -> 2.5.1 does not work. So I am stuck either
waiting for a patch from the Plone devs that would include a fix to get
migration working or I need start a new package stream. I don't expect
much from the Plone guys, they are also looking more upstream.

Am I allowed to create new packages for this updated stream and leave
the 'plone' and 'zope' packages as they are, maybe add some security
patches that are needed. Something like 'plone-new' and 'zope-new' for
FC4? Please advise.

Jon
