Hi
I made a port of the bootstrap package to rpm-4.2.1, available at
http://heppc22.hep.caltech.edu/openpkg/
This addresses RT ticket #68 at
https://rt.openpkg.org/SelfService/Display.html?id=68
Since the downloads are rather large, the .boot and .spec files and
changed/added patch files are also available.
The README is below.
Hopefully this would be a useful start to the 4.2 port :-)
Cheers!
Conrad

README file
---------------------------------------------------
OpenPKG port to rpm-4.2.1 based on openpkg-20030710
---------------------------------------------------
In this directory:
1. Prebuilt source RPM/shell scripts
openpkg-20030710_4.2.1-20030710_4.2.1.src.rpm
openpkg-20030710_4.2.1-20030710_4.2.1.src.sh
2. Boot script and spec file
openpkg.spec
openpkg.boot
3. Patches modified to work with rpm-4.2.1
rpm.patch.bugfix
rpm.patch.feature
rpm.patch.fts
rpm.patch.makefile
rpm.patch.porting
You also need:
rpm-4.2.1.tar.gz from http://www.rpm.org
beecrypt-3.0.0.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/beecrypt/
Make diffs as appropriate
Caveats
-------
1. rpm.patch.regen is not applied, since it is specific to rpm-4.0.2
2. rpm --install --justdb in the build process fails for some reason, so
the
rpm package is _really_ installed to prepare the rpm database.
3. This part of rpm.patch.porting was not applied out of sheer laziness:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Avoid non-portable construct: a self-referencing structure
| declaration cannot be combined with the corresponding typedef.
| Although GCC supports this (and does the correct thing), most
| other stricter compilers complain and fail.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. This version of rpm uses the 'rpmbuild' command to build packages. it
is
included in the path of the installation. It actually calls the 'rpmb'
command, but Redhat-9 also does it this way, so there.
5. I'm new to OpenPKG so touching any of this may format your root
partition, misalign important astronomical objects, or cause some other
really serious mischief to happen. You've been warned ;-)
