I looked in http://www.rpm.org/rpmapi-4.1/rpmlib_8h-source.html and it seems that this file is different from that found in SuSE 9.0. I believe that rpm.org is not updated...
That may very well be. You might want to write to their webmaster to get a statement on that - and if and when they plan to update it.
Reading RPM sources is a good idea but i dont know if the same API will be the same on all distros. Has LSB defined any stable API about RPMLIB ???
LSB doesn't know anything about the RPM lib since (AFAIK) it doesn't specify
anything about a package manager. Otherwise they would have had to make a
decision between Debian's APT, RPM (used by Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake) and
others. This is beyond the scope of that standard.
