2.0.9 -> 2.0.10:
- fixed the fix to rpm -q <num> bug
to query by number you now need --querybynumber
- made arch_sensitive on by default
- handle # comments in preamble
- don't barf if we can't canonicalize the hostname during builds
- fixed --verify with --root
2.0.8 -> 2.0.9:
- %files -f <file>
- prelim Require/Provide handling
- prelim strict checking of spec file
- removed some bash-isms
- fixed globbing/root bug
- fixed rpm -q <num> bug
- fixed ftw() related bug where symlinks were being
followed in %files rather than just being noted!!
- pass "upgrade" arg to pre/post scripts when upgrading
- use PATH to find cpio when installing
- fixed rpm.magic, added sun4, mips, 68k, sgi, sunos, solaris
- added %attr(mode owner group) feature to file list
- fixed dumb %verify() parse bug
2.0.7 -> 2.0.8:
- explicitly turn off ASCII armor when running PGP
- fixed --noscripts logic, which was on by default and
off if you specified it!
- uses a temp file to pass filenames to cpio in case when
their are more then 500 filenames in a package
- added --rcfile
- fixed problem with $HOME/.rcfile not being read
- undocumented --search, --where, --keep-temps which
will probably won't be implemented in RPM 2.x anyway
2.0.6 -> 2.0.7:
- builds now set umask 022 for all scripts
- queries relative paths correctly (thanks to Johnie Stafford)
- fixed error codes for failed installs
- don't add NULL entry to group index for packages that don't
have group information, add it to the "Unknown" group instead
- added --scripts query option
- added --noscripts for installing and uninstall without using
the pre/post scripts
- "rpm -qd" and "rpm -qc" work properly now (they didn't imply
-l before)
2.0.5 -> 2.0.6:
- internal changes to error messages
2.0.4 -> 2.0.5:
- added support for generic querying
- added --querytags option
- updated man page for above two
- short-circuit got added before 2.0.5, but I don't know when
- query and installs should now return 0 on success and nonzero
otherwise (rpm -i should return the number of packages that
failed actually)
- made rpm -qa fail if extra arguments are passed to it
2.0.3 -> 2.0.4:
- added support for PowerPC, and OSF mklinux ports
- added --resign
- added --recompile
- added verbose error messages from Tyson Sawyer
- rpmconvert won't overwrite an existing database

2.0.2 -> 2.0.3:
- added support for 686, 786, 886, 986
2.0.1 -> 2.0.2:
- fixed ftp.c to return an error code when select timeouts
- added basic NLS support, along with a Sweedish message catalog
(thanks to Michael Nyquist)
2.0 -> 2.0.1:
- hashing and percentages no longer SIGFPE on 0 byte packages
- when an ftp fails, install.c no longer tries to install the package
- uses /var/tmp rather then /usr/tmp during for ftp space
- added debugging messages to ftp.c
- fixed some mistakes in the PGP section of the man page
- added mdfile prototype to rpmlib.h - the Python module wants this
- fixed struct oldrpmlead to align properly on the alpha
2.0 - everything done :-)
2.0b -> 2.0c:
- an incredible number of changes - I won't bother trying to
list them
2.0a -> 2.0b:
- moved build stuff to main rpm command, though --rebuild is still
not supported
- install should work, although replaced files are not marked as
replaced
- %doc macro fixed
- --percent, --hash work for installs
- converted databases and packages get the file list in the correct
order now
- none of this is well tested
- rpms are output to proper dirs (which are always arch sensitive)
- basic rpmrc functions are implemented, full parsing is present
- changed error messages for missing files to include full path
- fixed detection of Alpha's
1.4.6 -> 2.0a:
- completely rewritten in C

- don't output prep/build/install sections if there aren't any
1.4 -> 1.4.1:
- fixed man page
- updated corruption messages to not mention --rebuild
- added RPM_PACKAGE_VERSION and RPM_PACKAGE_RELEASE variables
at build time
- no longer allows installing binary packages across architectures
- fixed handling of symlinks marked as config files
