[winswitch] Xpra 2.3.2 - CentOS 7 packaging conflicts

[Antoine Martin]

Hi,

Due to a packaging error on our side (*), an Epoch tag meant to
workaround a Fedora 27 packaging conflict from downstream ended up in
the CentOS 7 package metadata.

The offending packages have now been purged and I have replaced them
with a 2.3.3 pre-release. This applies to CentOS 7 only.

If you have already downloaded the 2.3.2 packages, you may want to
follow these instructions to ensure that the packages do not stay locked
on this version forever and to prevent future repo dependency errors:
yum remove "*xpra*" -y
yum clean all
yum install xpra -y

This may also be necessary in the future when upgrading from Fedora 27
to a newer release. We do not want to ever be using this tag, but we are
forced into this situation by the Fedora downstream package.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Antoine


(*) the mistake comes from this line which evaluates to true on CentOS7:
%if 0%{?fedora}<28
