Mon Dec 15 16:59:55 2003 The Interchange Development Group is pleased to announce the release of Interchange 5.0.0, beginning a new stable series that is the culmination of over a year of development including hundreds of improvements to the core, the admin, and the Foundation catalog. The full changelog is viewable here: http://ftp.icdevgroup.org/interchange/5.0/WHATSNEW We recommend that all new development be done with Interchange 5.0. Many users of earlier versions of Interchange will want to consider upgrading to Interchange 5.0 after testing it for suitability with their catalogs in a development environment. Some upgrade notes are included with the software.

You should install the main interchange RPM with --nodeps first, then install interchange-foundation and interchange-foundation-demo normally with a separate command, since they depend on the interchange package, and rpm doesn't know what order to install them in when you use --nodeps.
