Summary: oscar-release RPM

Initial Comment:
During an SSS teleconf, Paul Hargrove ask if there was
a way to have true RPM-level dependence on a specific
OSCAR version.  He mentioned the 'redhat-release'
approach.  

This seems easy enough and would help some pkg authors
to include distro specific (and named) RPMS for oscar.

Changing "Status" back to "Open" -- otherwise we'll never
see it again, the "Postponed" entry in "Resolution" should
suffice.

It has been decided that this "feature" raises more issues
than it solves given the current installation mechanism and
upgrade capabilities (none) provided by OSCAR.  It is
somewhat misleading or possibly mistakable as to what this
could me w.r.t. the installation status of OSCAR since OSCAR
is only fully installed at the end of the wizard
process...too late for folks to RPM level checks. 

There are better ways to enforce checking at the OPkg (meta
oscar pkg) level. It was decided that we would postpone this
feature request until such time as we're able to install
oscar (the core/libs/oca/etc., not nec. packages/) via an
RPM.  In that way we will install oscar via an RPM and it
will be the release/version entry in the RPM DB.

Therefore, I'm marking this a "Pending" & "Postponed" until
we have such capabilities.
