Re: [SLE] rpm-4 suse support

Hi Mads, it's not that I want to install rpm-4 rpms, but I need rpm-4.0 (include files and such) to be able to upgrade the project I'm to working on. As I have successfully created an rpm-4.0 rpm (the package that installs the package mng version 4.0), I'm now wundering is it possible to replace the rpm-3.0 pkg (the mng) with my rpm-4.0 providing the newer pkg manager.... This looks like suicicide.... Op zondag 18 november 2001 23:06, schreef Mads Martin Joergensen:

Just curious about the support by SuSE for rpm-4. For a project I'm working rpm version 4 is needed. I'm currently trying to build an rpm package out of a redhat rpm-4 source package (spm). The creation of rpm fails :( But what if I would succeed in making the rpm for rpm4, could I just update the rpm tool (rpm -Uvh), or do I need to rebuild the rpm database?

Coming back to my initial question: is it known when SuSE will introduce rpm4 into their distribution?

The rpm version we have had since 7.1, RPM version 3.0.6, are capable of installing 4.0 rpms.
