It appears as if the latest SL 5 update uses a different naming convention,

This broke my private script that looked for sl-release under the name
sl-release-5.*
(the actual name is "sl-release-58-4.sl.noarch", notice no "." between "5" and
"8",
compare to filenames of sl-release for all previous versions of SL4, 5, and 6).
After fixing this, I see that many external yum repositories stopped working
because they assume the "5.8" name, not "58".
So my inquiring mind wants to know if this change is permanent and SL 59, 510,
511,
63, 64, etc are to follow.
That was a typo, it should have been 5.8
