Yep, full notes at

dpm-163.html
Pretty much did what it said on the tin for us, with the caveat of
running the YAIM 3.0.0-36, which didn't chkconfig the srmv2.2 service
or advertise it into the information system - easy enough to diff
against 3.0.0-38 and patch that up though.
Cheers

PS. The DB upgrade did take quite a while: 12 minutes on a DPM with
10^5 files. So don't panic if you have a big DPM!
