fixed now)
- replaced temporary file creation to be race-condition safe
- prerequisites may not specify versions

packages created w/ rpm 2.4.4 and later cannot be installed with

- netsharedpath entries shouldn't match partial directory names
anymore (a nersharedpath of /usr/lib shouldn't affect /usr/libexec)

- added "day" query format which is like date, but doesn't print
any time
- added --changelog alias to query a packages changelog entry

missingok files) to be installed
- implemented %config(noreplace) for the install, but it hasn't
been tested in any way
- added i18n support to headers
- added ppc/rs6000 differntiation for AIX
- all IP* from uname() is changed to just IP
- IP is considered the same as mips (not sgi)
- added IRIX64 OS, it's compatible w/ IRIX
2.4 -> 2.4.1:
- take advantage of lchown() if it's available
- fixed configure script to assume chown() doesn't follow symlinks
if lchown() isn't available and configure is not being run as root
- more header file changes for AIX
- added :shescape query format type for strings, which prints strings
which will survive a single level of shell expansion

conform with autoconf
- set RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX environment variable when running
verify scripts
- beginnings of SCO support (though I suspect it will take one
or two more iterations to get it right)
- switched to CVS and updated some Makefile rules
- look for gethostbyname() instead of gethostname() in -nsl
(this could break some things)
- added check for strcasecmp() in -lucb on systems which don't
have strcasecmp() in libc
- don't build -static on hpux10

the database!) instead of packages
- clean up conflictsindex during --rebuilddb
- get path to gzip from /usr/lib/rpmrc rather then just hoping it's
in the path
- use dbpath for error messages with include database path in
their text
- don't set owner/group if binaries installed by "make install"
- include <strings.h> on SCO
- don't use cpio when installing packages <gulp>
- fixed bug which affected dependencies on the Alpha
- made '=' work for long arguments (the switch to popt broke this)
- handle solaris systems better
- complain if critical rpmrc variables (cpiobin, gzipbin, etc) aren't
set anywhere
- allow --dbpath for --rebuilddb
- added check for systems whose chown() follows symlinks. If configure
is run as root, this should get it right, otherwise it assumes
chown() does not follow symlinks. You can use --enable-broken-chown
to force configure to think chown does indeed follow symlinks.
- if chown() follows symlinks, we don't chown() symlinks during cpio
unpacking and we don't verify the owner or group of symlinks
- added packager and url to default -qi output
- look for <sys/select.h> and use it if it's there (for AIX)
2.3.10 -> 2.3.11:

users to replace directories with symlinks)
- don't set config bit on directories
- strip trailing slashes from files (during build)
- %tags are now case sensitive (macros too)
2.3.8 -> 2.3.9:
- reworked %setup to allow multiple -a and -b options, which
should noticeably ease the task of unapcking multiple tar files
- md5 sum's were calculated incorrectly on big endian machines
from 2.3.2 through 2.3.8 -- this was fixed and some hacks were
done to keep verification working
- updated README
- added --allmatches to allow erasing multiple versions/releases
of a package
- changed ftp URL's to use \r\n, not just \n (this should let RPM
work w/ some picky (but rfc compliant) ftp servers
- fix problem where parts at end of spec file were dropped
- added %config(noreplace missingok) (build-side)
- simple spec file macros
- should now process entire file list before failing
2.3.7 -> 2.3.8:
- added -t? options to build packages from tarballs which contain
.spec files instead of from the .spec files directly

- fixed error message issued when a groupname does not exist
- fixed but in changelog processing which made it hang on '*' in a
changelog entry

2.3.5 -> 2.3.6:
- -Vf uses realpath() now
- -Vp lets you use --ftpproxy, --ftpport
- changed popt format, breaking all popt alises :-(
- added ability to alias character arguments to popt
- moved --requires, --info to /usr/lib/rpmpopt
- RPM is more forgiving of blank user names (dumb)
- popt searches for aliases in the correct order now
- cleanup query code to handle missing uid lists better
- cleanup up configure.in a tad
2.3.4 -> 2.3.5:
- %{#TAG} in query format prints the array length
- cleanup up protoypes in rpmlib.h
- let -Vp work on URLs
- don't set umask(0) anymore -- that confused programs which
link against rpmlib quite badly
- moved print out in "rpm -v -i" to occur after any warnings
to pretty up the output a bit
- added default optflags for powerpc
- run shell for post/pre scripts in debug mode with -sx for
some silly shells
- installing source packages with --root checked for the
sources/specs directory to exist outside of the root -- fixed
- modified toplevel Makefile to run dependency generation only
against referenced sources
- array size mismatches in --qf should send error to stderr
- tried to make the locale stuff a bit more portable (again)
- reworked the owner/group setting on installs to be more generic
(in preperation for getting rid of cpio)
- made verify verify owner and groups by name rather then by id -- if
the symbolic names aren't available use the uids
- cleaned up relocateFilelist() and related code thanks to
new header introduced in 2.3.3 -- this could break relocateable
packages but they seem okay
- fixed a bug which could cause relocateable packages to not get
relocated -- I think this bit some people during hard drive
installs of all things (Jason Salopek pestered me consistently
enough to keep this on the front burner for me)
- removed FILEUIDS and FILEGIDS from the header in the database --
we never used it and it jsut wasted room
- convert uid/gid lists in v1 headers to symbolic names
2.3.3 -> 2.3.4:
- %changelog processing
- fixed broken requires/conflicts parsing for spec file
- vastly improved --rebuilddb's robustness
- fixed misplaced free() (only affected inconsistent databases)

- removed stdin based query and verify selectors
- installs rpmpopt in libdir
- moved --provides and --scripts to rpmpopt
- added --setperms, --setugids
- incorporated newer de.po from Karsten Weiss
- --resign/--addsign was broken in 2.3.3 from popt conversion
2.3.2 -> 2.3.3:
- Ripped out header internals and redid them. Any compatibility
problems this causes are *bugs* as it should be completley
transparent. If this works the devil better buy some Prestone (TM).
- Use "cp -pr" instead of "cp -ar" for %doc expansion
- use <string.h> instead of (non standard) <strings.h> in some places
- look for non-POSIX (broken) chmod
- include local copies of glob/fnmatch
- removed getopt() check from configure.in
- fixed bug in ftp code which prevented proper logins to some sites
- switched to popt from getopt, which allows command line aliasing
- read initial aliases from /usr/lib/rpmpopt then /etc/popt and
$HOME/.popt
- cleanup up rdev verification (only verifies device files, checks
device related mode bits as well)
- fixed allocation of temporary paths (Eugene Kanter noticed this)
- made tools/dumpdb read the rpmrc so it can find the database
- added --nomd5 for -V and -K
- don't assume mkdir -p will succeed if the dir exists

useless (thanks to Norbert Kiesel)
- fixed silly message
2.3 -> 2.3.1:
- changed --help routing to have intelligent line wrapping
to make i18n efforts easier
- NLSDIR should be used for nls catalogs, not a hardcoded path
- NLSDIR should be in share, not lib
- renamed sweedish catalog from se to sv
- added german catalog
- treat RPM_CHAR_TYPE as RPM_INT8_TYPE for queries
- made rpmEnsureOlder() internal to lib/install.c
- added rpmVersionCompare() to compare version/release/serial numbers
for packages -- returns like strcmp()
- stdout/stderr were getting closed after running a verify script
- relocting packages didn't work w/ the packages contained the
directory which was it's prefix
2.2.11 -> 2.3:
- replaced putenv/setenv which calls which malloc() buffer -- these
are memory leaks, but the functions are only used between a fork()
and exec() so it doesn't matter
- created directroies are stamped with mtime from the file list
2.2.10 -> 2.2.11:
- fixed some include file problems for FreeBSD
- fixed find-provides script for Linux (silly typo)
- -qvl didn't print out sticky bit
- linux.prov won't print provides info for symlinks which point
to libraries w/ proper sonames
2.2.9 -> 2.2.10:
- changed how installArchive() handles running out of gzread()
bytes while the child is still alive
- changed tag for Alpha's to "alpha" from "axp" <gulp>
- made ./configure look for --quiet support in cpio
- netsharedPath's were having mkdir()'s done on them and had
bad interactions with rooted directories
- made -qp accept '-' to query the package on stdin
- dependency checking was broken when no database was being used
- don't *ever* let cpio make directories -- we do a better job
(esp because we don't kill symlinks!)
- plugged memory leaks in upgrade (again thanks to mpr) -- install,
erase, upgrade, query, and verify all seem to be leakproof
- use select() rather than busy waiting in cpio_gzip()
- use half as much temp space during package assembly
- fail if spec file check fails

Replace with: ExclusiveArch: ExclusiveOs:
ExcludeArch: ExcludeOs:
- fixed dependency cheking for packages that are installed
at the same time

- --arch and --os are now --buildarch and --buildos
- magic arch/os handling through arch_canon and os_canon
see /usr/lib/rpmrc (in short: uname short_name num)
- removed build_arch: from rpmrc
Replacing it is buildarchtranslate: and buildostranslate:
to allow building with arch/os other than what uname() returns.
Can still be overriden with --buildarch and --buildos
- rpmrc keywords are now case-insensitive
- check os at install time
- check return code from gzread() during installs
- implemented os_compat
- added arch_compat and os_compat information to --showrc (the

do proper dependency checking)
- if only source packages are being installed, the database is
never opened
- automatic shared library require/provides tags generated
