The last build of the "old" was for f17. The "new" avl is only available 
for f19 and newer. Should I add a
Conflicts: avl < 3.32-1
regardless? The version numbers allow for upgrades (i.e. old avl stopped 
at 0.3.5, new avl starts at 3.32).

One question which remains though is what to do with the EPEL branhces. 
Just keep them retired?

Thanks,
Sandro
