I followed the instructions to install 4.0RC1 because I was having 
performance issues on my hardware (installing pS on my boxes caused an 
enormous drop in their bandwidth testing performance) and I was hoping that 
CentOS 7 would help. All I've done since then is run "yum update" a couple of 
times, in the hopes that whatever was broken and preventing my machine from 
running tests would be fixed by one of the updates. Here's what shows up on 
my box for perfsonar-toolkit:

Is that the RC package, or something else? 

Should I pave over this install and try the ISO instead?

Bill.
