I think the problem here is me I did not pay enough attention to the naming 
at first and so if anyone out there has installed any of the beta versions of 
the rpm's I made they will have a hard time upgrading with rpm. 

The solution would be to uninstall all beta versions first and then install 
1.0. If we post something on the site saying this it should be ok. Like I 
said it just has to do with the way that rpm handels upgrades.
