The new rpm version that you quote is http://www.rpm.org, with a bunch a opensuselocal patch - not sharp criticism,just a matter of fact. So,tell that you  follow "upstream" is not so true.  Other version of rpm, everyone know that exists and who is the maintainer, were not considered : there are good reasons for this, I suppose. I just hope this are  technical not political reason.

I thought that with openSUSE going to rpm 4.7.1 that we are extremely close to using upstream RPM. I do not think I saw many patches to it in the logs posted for factory changes(opensuse-commit@opensuse.org). So I think this statement is correct. -- Boyd Gerber 801 849-0213 ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

I have looked to the sources from Build Factory

Result of last grep 61

The patch count is still high, but they modify only minor things now. We've used old version 4.4.2.3 for a long time, but now we have 4.7.1 in Factory, the latest version from upstream.
