----- Forwarded message from Jeff Johnson ----- Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 20:18:00 -0400 From: Jeff Johnson To: rpm-list@redhat.com Subject: 2nd test release of rpm-4.0.3 Mail-Followup-To: rpm-list@redhat.com X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4us Reply-To: rpm-list@redhat.com I've put up a 2nd test release for the "next version" of rpm at ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.3-ROLLBACKS There are "home-rolled" packages for gnorpm, kpackage, rpmfind, rpm2html, and red-carpet linked against rpm-4.0.3-0.26 there as well. Please note that the packages were produced to check for rpmlib API creep, I have little clue whether the bits are functional, or even what libraries I have built against (approx. Red Hat 7.1), only that the bits compile. If they work for you, I'm glad. If they don't, please file a bugzilla report against rpm, not the package, and I'll try to take a look. No promises about fixes, but I'm very interested in reports of brokenness. This build does *not* have support for db1 at all, and has a new library, librpmdb.a, with an internal copy of Berkeley db-3.3.4. So far, the main API breakage appears limited to adding -lrpmdb when linking, as in -lrpmbuild -lrpm -lrpmdb -lrpmio -lpopt I believe that rpm-4.0.3 will tolerate damaged headers from a db3 database, so, if you have a "corrupted database" in db3 format, rpm-4.0.3-0.26 is the 1st thing to try. Sorry, I haven't yet attempted to get a better solution for corrupted db1 databases, that's a little trickier because of the way that headers are chained, a broken chain usually leads to loss of all headers after the damage. Final release of rpm-4.0.3 is at least 3-4 weeks from now, but the changes are large enough that I want to make a reference copy available along the way. Pending soonish is an soname change for rpm libraries, gonna be messy, can't be helped. Please submit bug reports, RFE's, patches, etc as always at http://bugzilla.redhat.com 73 de Jeff -- Jeff Johnson ARS N3NPQ jbj@jbj.org (jbj@redhat.com) Chapel Hill, NC _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list ----- End forwarded message ----- Regards, Dmitry +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Dmitry V.
