Synopsis:	Low: atrpms-repo update
Issue date:	2011-03-08

The yum repo config files were pointing to the wrong directory for the
atrpms repositories. This was causing a yum denial of service for those
users who had it enabled. This update fixes the yum repo files so they
point to the correct area.

SL 6.x

 SRPMS:
atrpms-repo-6-5.el6.src.rpm
 i386:
atrpms-repo-6-5.el6.i686.rpm
 x86_64:
atrpms-repo-6-5.el6.x86_64.rpm
