Btw, we'll have to take a decision about perl-URPMI & urpmi There've been quite a lot of commits from pok. We've two alternatives: stick with perl-URPM & urpmi from pre-rpm5 or sync with mdv. I'm not sure pok has kept compatilibity with rpm-4 and if there'has been any other damage. eg: if I remember right, pok removed my perl-URPM workaround for rpm segfaulting because he fixed it in rpm5... I think anssi & me (& maybe C. Fergeau if he wants to work with Mageia, I forgot to ask him last time I saw him) should be able to maintain those.
