RPM version 3 still reigns supreme: most (all?) RPM distros use it, stable, it's the standard (LSB), and I could find very little rpm v4 documentation. What are the advantages of rpm version 4? Everything I could want in a package format is already in version 3: package signatures via GnuPG / PGP, dependencies, etc. There's one thing I'm looking for, though: better compression since RPM uses cpio, afaik. Anyone have a webpage I could look at? -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0
