JFYI ----- Forwarded message from Jeff Johnson ----- Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2002 20:23:51 -0500 From: Jeff Johnson To: rpm-list@redhat.com Subject: rpm-4.0.4 test release, take 0 I've copied an initial build of rpm-4.0.4 packages at ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.4 There are packages for all supported Red Hat platforms there. These packages have not been tested *AT ALL*, I'm getting my ducks in a row for releasing rpm-4.0.4 in the next 7-10 days. I am however interested in problem reports, in bugzilla please: http://bugzilla.redhat.com particularly on non-i386 and non-linux platforms. I'm very certain that there are gonna be build problems on non-linux platforms, as rpm now has a hard wired LIBS=-lrt -lpthreads in configure, and that can't possibly be right for non-linux platforms. I'll try to get a description posted here on rpm-list of what has changed in rpm-4.0.4 in the next day or two. Meaanwhile, here's the CHANGES from rpm-4.0.4: - turn off rpm-perl until it's self-hosting. - jigger up rpm-python with python-2.2b2 for now. - remove libtoolize from %%configure for now (#57039). - teach find-requires to autogenerate GCC_3.0 dependencies. - solaris: translate i86pc to i386 (#57182). - fix: %GNUconfigure breaks with single quotes (#57264). - look for PY_VERSION 2.2c1. - fix: typo in find-requires. - tru64 compiler message cleanup. - add buildarch lines for hppa (#57728). - sparc: make dbenv per-rpmdb, not per-dbi. - handle lazy db open's in chroot with absolute path, not prefix strip. - Depends should use CDB if configured. - autodetect python 1.5/2.2. - use db-4.0.14 final internally. - make rpm-perl package self-hosting (#57748). - permit gpg/pgp/pgp5 execs to be reconfigured. - fix: signing multiple times dinna work, discard immutable region. - remove poptmodule.so for separate packaging. - permit subset installs for %lang colored hardlink file sets. - missing key(s) on keyring when verifying a signature is now an error. - remove dependency whiteout. - calculate rpm-4.1 ordering/orientation metrics in rpmdepOrder(). - use beecrypt routines to calculate digests in rpm. - dump legacy support for broken md5 signatures. - sync popt and rpmio with rpm-4.1, rpmio has OpenPGP API. - sync rpmdb and build with rpm-4.1, lots of splint annotations. - add :armor and :base64 query format qualifiers for binary signatures. - fix: query format qualifiers needed header.c merge. - ppc64 arch added (#58634,#58636). - turn on auto-generated perl requirements (#58519, #58536, #58537). - add internal (customized) version of zlib. - fix: %exclude functional (again). - trap SIGILL for ppc64 inline asm voodoo fix from cross-dressed ppc32. - rpm-perl: force numeric comparison on rpm version (#58882). - fix: fancy hash fiddles if not a tty. - fix: handle /.../ correctly in rpmCleanPath(). - transaction rollback code in rpmRollback(). - Red Hat 6.2 portability cruft. 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.
