I've put up a penultimate release for rpm-4.0.3-1.03 at

	ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.3

This includes packages for Red Hat 7.1, 6.x, and 5.x for all arches. Packages
for Red Hat 6.x have a release of "-1.03.6x", 5.x have "-1.03.5x".

This is what's going to be in the next release of the Red Hat distro.

The final release of rpm-4.0.3 will differ slightly, as I need to
add a few command line things to support Red Hat Network, and write
final release notes, etc. The final packages for rpm-4.0.3 will
probably be out in 10 days or so, depending on what problems Red Hat
QA identifies. There's always something ...

There's a new rpm-perl package that replaces the perl-Perl-RPM, the same
bits are inside. Yes, there is no rpm-perl package for 6.x and 5.x, and
there's no rpm-python package for 5.x.

rpm-4.0.3 uses an internal copy of Berkeley db-3.3.11, you no longer
need to install the db3 packages separately. Note that the -6x rpm
packages are linked against the "official" 6.x bzip2-0.9.5d-2 libraries,
so, if you've upgraded to bzip2-1.0.1, you will need to recompile
the rpm src.rpm.

rpm-4.0.3 no longer links against the Berkeley db-1.85 libraries. This
means that there is limited support for what I call "db1 format", sufficient
to do an rpm --rebuilddb to convert from db1 to db3 format. Queries that
access only /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm (e.g. "rpm -qa") will "work", but
queries that access the db-1.85 hash format indices (e.g. "rpm -q rpm")
will not.

Errata for packages like gnorpm, rpmfind, kpackage, etc will be
released with rpm-4.0.3 final. Grab a src.rpom from Raw Hide
and do "rpm --rebuild" if you need the functionality, as that's
pretty much all that's gonna be done for the errata.

Please submit bug reports, RFE's, patches, etc as always at
	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
