There’s a work-in-progress snapshot of the next version of RPM at
rpm-5.4.17-0.20160510.src.rpm
<http://rpm5.org/files/rpm/rpm-5.4/SNAPSHOT/rpm-5.4.17-0.20160510.src.rpm>
I’m mostly interested in early feedback on the contents before deciding what
(e.g. gnulib)
should be included in a final tarball at this point.
rpm-5.4.18 implements file capabilities, and has an implementation of zest
compression., to
name two features that might be of interest.
Berkeley DB detection has been reworked so that no patching is needed, and the
latest available installed libdb-X.Y will be used. Note that there is a 1-line
patch to Berkeley DB needed
since db-6.1.23: . If multiple versions of Berkeley DB are installed with
/us/include/db.h, then
you will need to specify which db.h version to use explicitly using
—with-db=/usr/lib64:/usr/include/dbXY
Almost all the splint annotations have been removed in RPM sources. so many
patches will have to be rebased.
Opinions?
