So this is what I get for trying to cut a release on Monday: the
originally linked rpm-4.15.90-git14970 snapshot has a buggy rpm.pc file
which prevents using it for linking. Since an important aspect of alpha
testing is testing other software... duh.
Just pushed a new snapshot (rpm-4.15.90-git14971) to fix that and
updated the download links + hashes, but if you were eager enough to
have grabbed the first snapshot then you'll want to update.

Seems I also forgotten some highlights as well:
- Support for dependency generation with parametric macros
- Support for dependency generation based on MIME types
The details and download info still at
https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.16.0
Apologies for the confusion,
Another regression is in rpmbuild:
$ rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/foobar.spec
error: line 5: Tag takes single token only: Release: %{mkrel 1}
This basically breaks building all of 13 000 packages in Mageia because
all of them use this:
Release: %mkrel 1
Which expands to a nicely formatted release number according to the
distro version (similar to %{dist} in Fedora).
Can you please rollback that change?

This appears to be a build configuration issue rather than an rpm
regression. Further updates to the ticket, thanks.
