	    - New tag DocDir: <dir> to set alternate doc dir (default is 
              /usr/doc)
	    - %doc should work as expected with buildroot, prefix, DocDir:
	    - all file processing is done before any packaging
	    - should work with modern patch programs (later than 2.1)
	    - %patch -z <arg> same as %patch -b <arg>

	  the ids used when the src rpm was created
	- don't give an error if missingok files don't exist during remove
	- touched ftp code to make it coexist w/ Red Hat install better
	- use rand/srand rather then random/srandom
	- don't build misc directory unless it's necessary
	- empty package files should be treated the same as files
	  with bad magic, not as read errors
	- fix bug where Prefix directory is included in file list
	- sinix readdir() work-around

2.4.8 -> 2.4.9:

2.4.6 -> 2.4.7:
	- had some wrong month lengths in changelog date parsing
	- updated fine-requires (Linux version) to add lines for shell
	  scripts (Donnie Barnes)

	- pre/post script processing had some erroneous free() calls
	- fixed typos for HP archs in lib/rpmrc.c

	- replaced temporary file creation to be race-condition safe
	- prerequisites may not specify versions

2.4.4 -> 2.4.5:
	- call getpwnam()/endpwent() once before a chroot(), forcing name 
	  service shared libs to be loaded from outside of the root path
	- added vesrion stamp to lib/misc.o (and librpm.a by extension)

	- restore working directory after installing a package w/ a chroot
	- dump the package stack when a dependency loop is encountered
	- when a user/group lookup fails, end*ent() and retry 
	- fixed broken --scripts argument (it was --s2)
	- only display the packager and url in -qi output if they have defined
	  values
	- print "(not installed)" as the install time for -p queries rather
	  then "not a number"
	- almost completely rewrote rcfile parsing; I'm sure this will
	  break things eventually but it's much more flexible now
	- added buildarch/buildos compatibility tables, listed values
	  in --showrc
	- added cpio archive building code; GNU cpio is no longer used!
	  packages created w/ rpm 2.4.4 and later cannot be installed with
	  rpm 2.4 - rpm 2.4.3 however (version of RPM before 2.4 will 
	  work fine, however). An "error -2 reading header" happens when
	  this is attempted
	- removed cpiobin from rpmrc
	- added rpmrc "provides" tag to allow easy fulfillment of 
	  automatically generated dependencies
	- look for random() in libm if it can't be found be default

	- changed the licensing terms for librpm to allow redistribution
	  under the LGPL
	- applied man page changes from Alex deVries
	- configure.in builds up LIBS by appending (Benedict Lofstedt)

2.4.2 -> 2.4.3:
	- implemented install time prerequisites
	- repaired %{#TAG} query format
	- implemented ternary operator as query expression
	- fixed --scripts to only print information on scripts which
	  are present
	- check symlink() return for < 0, not != 0 (Bob Tanner)
	- uses chroot() for installs --root option
	- archive expansion doesn't create new devices or symlinks when
	  the proper files already exist
	- added -p to %post (etc) to specify the program which a script
	  is run through
	- if -p is used w/ an empty script, the specified program is
	  executed directly 
	- the -p argument (or /bin/sh) is automaticall added as a prereq

2.4.1 -> 2.4.2:

	- updated man pages
	- changed "struct rpmdb" to "struct rpmdb_s" for C++
	- netsharedpath entries shouldn't match partial directory names
	  anymore (a nersharedpath of /usr/lib shouldn't affect /usr/libexec)
	- don't backup config files on netsharedpaths (take 2)
	- added "day" query format which is like date, but doesn't print
	  any time
	- added --changelog alias to query a packages changelog entry
	- added mntctl() support for AIX (I think, I can't test this)
	- fflags query type displays 's' for specfiles, 'm' for missingok
	  files, and 'n' for noreplace files
	- implemented %config(missingok) flag in install
	- added --allfiles flag for -i and -U, which forces all files (even
	  missingok files) to be installed
	- implemented %config(noreplace) for the install, but it hasn't
	  been tested in any way
	- added i18n support to headers
	- added ppc/rs6000 differntiation for AIX
	- all IP* from uname() is changed to just IP
	- IP is considered the same as mips (not sgi)
	- added IRIX64 OS, it's compatible w/ IRIX

2.4 -> 2.4.1:
	- take advantage of lchown() if it's available
	- fixed configure script to assume chown() doesn't follow symlinks
	  if lchown() isn't available and configure is not being run as root
	- more header file changes for AIX
	- added :shescape query format type for strings, which prints strings
	  which will survive a single level of shell expansion
	- fixed --setperms and --setugids to handle empty packages and 
	  packages with odd filenames
	- include <sys/time.h> before <sys/resource.h>

	- created noarch architecture which everything is compatible with
	- fixed group verification (Benedict Lofstedt)
	- don't backup config files on netsharedpaths
	- added info on --build{arch|os} to --help and usage messages

2.3.11 -> 2.4:
	- changed RPMNLSDIR directories to and @datadir@ to better
	  conform with autoconf
	- set RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX environment variable when running 
	  verify scripts
	- beginnings of SCO support (though I suspect it will take one
	  or two more iterations to get it right)
	- switched to CVS and updated some Makefile rules
	- look for gethostbyname() instead of gethostname() in -nsl
	  (this could break some things)
	- added check for strcasecmp() in -lucb on systems which don't
	  have strcasecmp() in libc
	- don't build -static on hpux10
	- don't try and NLS empty strings
	- changed index() call to strchr() in macro code
	- include <time.h> in build/spec.c for various platforms
	- added update-po rule to po/Makefile.in
	- updated de.po (thanks to Karl Eichwalder)
	- rpmFindByFile() removes trailing and duplicate /'s
	- made many string in rpm program (though not yet in the various
	  libraries) translatable
	- eight character user names could break -qlv
	- requirements which begin with a leading / require files (in
	  the database!) instead of packages
	- clean up conflictsindex during --rebuilddb
	- get path to gzip from /usr/lib/rpmrc rather then just hoping it's 
	  in the path
	- use dbpath for error messages with include database path in 
	  their text
	- don't set owner/group if binaries installed by "make install"
	- include <strings.h> on SCO
	- don't use cpio when installing packages <gulp>
	- fixed bug which affected dependencies on the Alpha
	- made '=' work for long arguments (the switch to popt broke this)
	- handle solaris systems better
	- complain if critical rpmrc variables (cpiobin, gzipbin, etc) aren't
	  set anywhere
	- allow --dbpath for --rebuilddb
	- added check for systems whose chown() follows symlinks. If configure
	  is run as root, this should get it right, otherwise it assumes
	  chown() does not follow symlinks. You can use --enable-broken-chown
	  to force configure to think chown does indeed follow symlinks.
	- if chown() follows symlinks, we don't chown() symlinks during cpio
	  unpacking and we don't verify the owner or group of symlinks
	- added packager and url to default -qi output
	- look for <sys/select.h> and use it if it's there (for AIX)

2.3.10 -> 2.3.11:
	- fixed newlines in --scripts output
	- fix handling of source files with bad owners/groups

	- new predefined macros: %SOURCEn %PATCHn %SOURCEURLn %PATCHURLn
	- fix anomoly with %files -f <file> and %doc
	- ignore config bit when it's set on directories (which allows
	  users to replace directories with symlinks)
	- don't set config bit on directories
	- strip trailing slashes from files (during build)
	- %tags are now case sensitive (macros too)

2.3.8 -> 2.3.9:
	- reworked %setup to allow multiple -a and -b options, which
	  should noticeably ease the task of unapcking multiple tar files
	- md5 sum's were calculated incorrectly on big endian machines
	  from 2.3.2 through 2.3.8 -- this was fixed and some hacks were
	  done to keep verification working
	- updated README
	- added --allmatches to allow erasing multiple versions/releases
	  of a package
	- changed ftp URL's to use \r\n, not just \n (this should let RPM
	  work w/ some picky (but rfc compliant) ftp servers
	- fix problem where parts at end of spec file were dropped
	- added %config(noreplace missingok) (build-side)
	- simple spec file macros
	- should now process entire file list before failing
	
2.3.7 -> 2.3.8:
	- added -t? options to build packages from tarballs which contain
	  .spec files instead of from the .spec files directly
	- fixed error in man page where ftp URLs are discussed
	- don't strlen(NULL) in headerAddEntry()
	- minor portability changes
	- stopped building oldrpmdb.c as part of rpmlib
	- added Makefile rule for building rpmconvert (which is almost
	  never needed) -- this isolated gdbm dependence to this target
	- fixed checking of popt stack overflow
	- --requires shouldn't imply -q
	- fixed error message issued when a groupname does not exist
	- fixed but in changelog processing which made it hang on '*' in a
	  changelog entry
	- generate S_ISSOCK and S_ISLNK macros on systems w/o them
	- "rpm --erase" wasn't returning proper error codes w/ package
	  removal failed

2.3.6 -> 2.3.7:
	- fixed nasty memory link in -Va
	- configure checks for -lnsl explicitly rather then linking it
	  to -lsocket (for NCR SysVR4)
	- configure checks for dirent.h
	- modified glob.c to include config.h and use HAVE_DIRENT_H
	- cleanup of LIBS/LIBPATH mess a bit more

2.3.5 -> 2.3.6:
	- -Vf uses realpath() now
	- -Vp lets you use --ftpproxy, --ftpport
	- changed popt format, breaking all popt alises :-(
	- added ability to alias character arguments to popt 
	- moved --requires, --info to /usr/lib/rpmpopt
	- RPM is more forgiving of blank user names (dumb)
	- popt searches for aliases in the correct order now
	- cleanup query code to handle missing uid lists better
	- cleanup up configure.in a tad

2.3.4 -> 2.3.5:
	- %{#TAG} in query format prints the array length
	- cleanup up protoypes in rpmlib.h
	- let -Vp work on URLs
	- don't set umask(0) anymore -- that confused programs which
	  link against rpmlib quite badly
	- moved print out in "rpm -v -i" to occur after any warnings
	  to pretty up the output a bit
	- added default optflags for powerpc
	- run shell for post/pre scripts in debug mode with -sx for
	  some silly shells
	- installing source packages with --root checked for the 
	  sources/specs directory to exist outside of the root -- fixed
	- modified toplevel Makefile to run dependency generation only
	  against referenced sources
	- array size mismatches in --qf should send error to stderr
	- tried to make the locale stuff a bit more portable (again)
	- reworked the owner/group setting on installs to be more generic
	  (in preperation for getting rid of cpio)
	- made verify verify owner and groups by name rather then by id -- if
	  the symbolic names aren't available use the uids
	- cleaned up relocateFilelist() and related code thanks to
	  new header introduced in 2.3.3 -- this could break relocateable
	  packages but they seem okay
	- fixed a bug which could cause relocateable packages to not get
	  relocated -- I think this bit some people during hard drive
	  installs of all things (Jason Salopek pestered me consistently
	  enough to keep this on the front burner for me)
	- removed FILEUIDS and FILEGIDS from the header in the database --
	  we never used it and it jsut wasted room
	- convert uid/gid lists in v1 headers to symbolic names 

2.3.3 -> 2.3.4:
	- %changelog processing
	- fixed broken requires/conflicts parsing for spec file
	- vastly improved --rebuilddb's robustness
	- fixed misplaced free() (only affected inconsistent databases)
	- added conflicts documentation to docs/dependencies
	- using multiple query formats has them all concatenated
	- removed stdin based query and verify selectors
	- installs rpmpopt in libdir
	- moved --provides and --scripts to rpmpopt
	- added --setperms, --setugids
	- incorporated newer de.po from Karsten Weiss
	- --resign/--addsign was broken in 2.3.3 from popt conversion

2.3.2 -> 2.3.3:
	- Ripped out header internals and redid them. Any compatibility 
	  problems this causes are *bugs* as it should be completley 
	  transparent. If this works the devil better buy some Prestone (TM).
	- Use "cp -pr" instead of "cp -ar" for %doc expansion
	- use <string.h> instead of (non standard) <strings.h> in some places
	- look for non-POSIX (broken) chmod
	- include local copies of glob/fnmatch
	- removed getopt() check from configure.in
	- fixed bug in ftp code which prevented proper logins to some sites
	- switched to popt from getopt, which allows command line aliasing
	- read initial aliases from /usr/lib/rpmpopt then /etc/popt and
	  $HOME/.popt
	- cleanup up rdev verification (only verifies device files, checks
	  device related mode bits as well)
	- fixed allocation of temporary paths (Eugene Kanter noticed this)
	- made tools/dumpdb read the rpmrc so it can find the database
	- added --nomd5 for -V and -K
	- don't assume mkdir -p will succeed if the dir exists
	- use RPMNLS* defines to avoid header file conflicts
	- bunch of minor cleanups to avoid warnings on other OS's

2.3.1 -> 2.3.2:
	- fixed bug in new rpmVersionCompare() which made it worse then
	  useless (thanks to Norbert Kiesel)
	- fixed silly message

2.3 -> 2.3.1:
	- changed --help routing to have intelligent line wrapping
	  to make i18n efforts easier
	- NLSDIR should be used for nls catalogs, not a hardcoded path
	- NLSDIR should be in share, not lib
	- renamed sweedish catalog from se to sv
	- added german catalog
	- treat RPM_CHAR_TYPE as RPM_INT8_TYPE for queries
	- made rpmEnsureOlder() internal to lib/install.c
	- added rpmVersionCompare() to compare version/release/serial numbers
	  for packages -- returns like strcmp()
	- stdout/stderr were getting closed after running a verify script
	- relocting packages didn't work w/ the packages contained the
	  directory which was it's prefix

2.2.11 -> 2.3:
	- replaced putenv/setenv which calls which malloc() buffer -- these
	  are memory leaks, but the functions are only used between a fork()
	  and exec() so it doesn't matter
	- created directroies are stamped with mtime from the file list

2.2.10 -> 2.2.11:
	- fixed some include file problems for FreeBSD
	- fixed find-provides script for Linux (silly typo)
	- -qvl didn't print out sticky bit
	- linux.prov won't print provides info for symlinks which point
	  to libraries w/ proper sonames

2.2.9 -> 2.2.10:
	- changed how installArchive() handles running out of gzread()
	  bytes while the child is still alive
	- changed tag for Alpha's to "alpha" from "axp" <gulp>
	- made ./configure look for --quiet support in cpio
	- netsharedPath's were having mkdir()'s done on them and had
	  bad interactions with rooted directories
	- made -qp accept '-' to query the package on stdin
	- dependency checking was broken when no database was being used
	- don't *ever* let cpio make directories -- we do a better job
	  (esp because we don't kill symlinks!)
	- plugged memory leaks in upgrade (again thanks to mpr) -- install,
	  erase, upgrade, query, and verify all seem to be leakproof
	- use select() rather than busy waiting in cpio_gzip()
	- use half as much temp space during package assembly
	- fail if spec file check fails
	- changed canonical name for 68k to m68k (sorry)
	- integrated FreeBSD changes from Jared Mauch
	- integrated Irix changes from Hermann Lauer
	- i18n support can be disabled w/ configure by --disable-nls
	  (thanks to Remy Card)
	- integrated more AmigaOS patches, played with configure some
	  more to allow cross compiling (Kristof Depraetere)
	- cleanups to rpm2cpio (closing the gz stream) (Elliot Lee)
	- made find-provides return filename for libs w/ no soname

2.2.8 -> 2.2.9:

	- added find-provides for Solaris, made find-provides setup
	  more generic (w/ configure.in picking the right one)
	- fix -Q
	- The Great Renaming
	- use external OS specific script to generate requires lines
	  (should work with ld.so 1.8.x) (find-requries)

2.2.7 -> 2.2.8:
	- added --ftpproxy, --ftpport (and wrote about them in rpm.8)
	- added --nodeps to man page
	- added --showrc to man page
	- added conflict checking (use conflicts tag, which looks
	  just like the requires tag)
	- fixed RPM's return code when package removal fails
	- cleaned up lib/install.c a bit for readability
	- plugged a bunch of memory leaks thanks to mpr -- install,
	  uninstall, verify, and query all seem clean now
	- added support for trees shared over a network via netsharedpath
	  in rpmrc
	- don't exit when there is an unknown option in an rpmrc, just
	  give an error and continue
	- tried once again to get things working properly with 2.1's
	  write behavior
	- added -E option for %patch
	- added UltraSPARC support to lib-rpmrc
	- moved default topdir and optflags settings to lib-rpmrc from 
	  /etc/rpmrc
	- removed /etc/rpmrc from standard distribution
	- use separate chgrp/chown commands in %setup macro
	- kill(2) arguments were backwards in lib/install.c
	- fileFile logging needed stdio to handle NULL args to %s
	- default docdir (for %doc macro) set in lib-rpmrc rather then
	  hardcoded
	- removed some of the \n from args to error() [though many are
	  still left]
	- uninstall should fail if the preuninstall script fails
	- --root works with --initdb now

2.2.6 -> 2.2.7:
	- applied lots of portability patches
	- builds on Solaris machines now!
	- will build w/o i18n support if GNU gettext isn't installed
	- added inet_aton, setenv functions for libmisc
	- added Sun4c, Sun4m architectures
	- use vfork() if fork() doesn't exist (for AmigaOS)
	- look for GNU cpio, complain if it doesn't exist at build time
	- put path for GNU cpio in /usr/lib/librpmrc
	- install rpm.shared if rpm wasn't built (for Solaris)
	- readHeader() in librpm.a should work on sockets (which may
	  return partial reads)
	- package file query (-q -p) accepts ftp:// style URL's
	- if gzread returns 0 bytes (at EOF), don't call write w/ 0 byte
	  argument as it's behviour isn't portable
	- fixed -Vp behavior (doesn't seg fault w/ packages have dependencies)

2.2.5 -> 2.2.6:
	- added --rebuilddb to rebuild database, updated man page
	- fix fd leak in md5sum
	- fixed group cache bug

2.2.4 -> 2.2.5:
	- if rename() for moving .spec file from SOURCES to SPECS fails,
	  try copying it instead
	- -h and -v work for source package >= V2
	- -h output is much smoother now
	- new AutoReqProv: tag in spec file can disable automatic
          require/provide generation
	- fixed md5sum problem on big endian machines in a way that's
	  mostly backwards compatible; this hack will be removed someday
	- added :fflags tag
	- fixed a couple of minor memory leaks in lib/install.c
	- --test for building

2.2.3 -> 2.2.4:
	- only remove docdir if %doc occurs
	- allow -R to %patch
	- moved to use GNU autoconf, though it probably isn't perfect yet
	  (thanks Kristof Depraetere)
	- spec file sanity: no - chars in version or release,
	  must be a regular file :-)
	- version specifications for requirements can use "-<release number>"
	- default lib path, tmp path, topdir, and /usr/lib/rpmrc get set
	  by configure script relative to --prefix

2.2.2 -> 2.2.3:
	- fixed script file md5 checking when files are in a root
	- implemented proper strdup/free logic for dependency conflict
	  lists
	- strip leading directories from ldd output
	- fix non-null-terminated readlink() result
	- fixed sscanf() in ftp code to use proper types

2.2.1 -> 2.2.2:
	- added functionality to rpmlib to suggest resolutions for
	  dependency problems
	- fix stupid allocation problem in exclude/exclusive stuff
	- fix nasty bug where pointers in to the header were getting
	  stale after some realloc()s in addEntry()
	- ignore OS tag for v2 packages -- it was wrong anyway
	- match shared libs on ".so" rather than ".so."
	- skip blanks from objdump for auto-provide
	- if objdump gets us _end, provide the file name
	- do not ldd non-regular files
	- do not pass leading "/" to ldd
	- fix ExcludeOs: and ExclusiveOs:
	- -V verifies dependencies, can be controlled with --nodeps
	  and --nofiles
	- added information on --nodeps to usage messages
	- implement --timecheck and rpmrc timecheck:
	- implement -bl
	- catch duplicate files in file lists
	- some random sanity checking on the file list

2.2 -> 2.2.1:
	- made rpmRemovePackage() print message in verbose mode
	- added support for ftp://user:pass@machine.org/ URL's
	  during installation - the password will be prompted for
	  if only the user is given, and anonymous ftp will be used
	  it both user and password are omitted (as before)
	- Remove Exclusive: Exclude:
	  Replace with: ExclusiveArch: ExclusiveOs:
		        ExcludeArch: ExcludeOs:
	- fixed dependency cheking for packages that are installed
	  at the same time
	- fixed version number dependency checking
	- fixed problem installing v1 source packages (thanks to
	  Nikita Borisov)
	- fixed minor spelling/spacing problems (Nikita Borisov)
	- assume all v1 packages were made for Linux so OS check works
	- began to implement proxyftp, though it doesn't work yet
	- fixed spacing when reporting dependency conflicts
	- fixed bug where a long name (uname()) was mapping to itself

2.1.2 -> 2.2:
	- don't fail, and do report, if -K can't find a PGP key
	- handle file names with quotes and spaces when passed to ldd
	  (still can't have spaces in %files)
	- do not allow Buildprefix: in sub packages
	- removed require_group from rpmrc -- groups are always required
	- removed arch_sensitive from rpmrc -- always on
	- removed docdir from rpmrc -- always /usr/doc
	- fixed nasty bug in installing packages with large filelists
	- made -R work
	- --provides and --requries don't print anything if no information
	  is present (rather then (none) )
	- -qi prints Summary now
	- changed Buildprefix: -> Buildroot: (spec file, rpmrc)
		  --buildprefix -> --buildroot (command line)
		  RPM_BUILD_PREFIX -> RPM_BUILD_ROOT
					(%prep, %build, %install, %clean)
	  sorry :-)
	- allow Prefix: for sub-packages
	- allow packager: in rpmrc
	- --arch and --os are now --buildarch and --buildos
	- magic arch/os handling through arch_canon and os_canon
	  see /usr/lib/rpmrc (in short: uname short_name num)
	- removed build_arch: from rpmrc
	  Replacing it is buildarchtranslate: and buildostranslate:
	  to allow building with arch/os other than what uname() returns.
	  Can still be overriden with --buildarch and --buildos
	- rpmrc keywords are now case-insensitive
	- check os at install time
	- check return code from gzread() during installs
	- implemented os_compat
	- added arch_compat and os_compat information to --showrc (the
	  changes needed to do this removed any lingering questions about
	  the efficiency of the compat lookups for large tables or tables
	  with loops -- it should all work fine)
	- made -u (--uninstall) exit with an error and not do anything
	- added --ignoreos
	- fixed error message given when a file is missing

        - automatic shared lib provides now work with buildprefix
	- fixed dependency checking during upgrades to work if the
	  package wasn't previously installed
	- clean up temp file after signature check
	- dependencies weren't looking through packages that were
	  being installed at the same time quite right

2.1 -> 2.1.1:
	- fixed -qi query format 

2.0.11 -> 2.1:
        - added --requires, --whatrequires, --provides and 
	  --whatprovides queries
	- using a string array tag in a queryformat results in every
	  item in the string being printed out with spaces in between
	  (though this behaviour will probably go away shortly)
	- all packages are ftp'd before any are installed (required to
	  do proper dependency checking)
	- if only source packages are being installed, the database is
	  never opened
	- automatic shared library require/provides tags generated
	- added --nodeps flag for install and uninstall
	- added dependency checking for installs and uninstalls

	- new extensible signature
	- signature section supports multiple signatures
	- --addsign to add a signature to a package
	- PGP key no longer limited to 1024 bits
	- always do at least an MD5 "signature"
	  as a result, -K will always tell you something
	- signatures now include a simple "header+archive size" check
          just calling readSignature() checks this
	- --nopgp (with -K) to skip PGP check, just do MD5
	- allow '#' comments in preamble and %files section
	- fixed -qsv to print both the states and the file information	
	- added --dump option to query to print all file attributes
	- installs with --root use the /etc/passwd and /etc/group from
	  the target directory
	- added --initdb to aid in database initialization
	- --queryformat can print items of type INT8
	- "sourceless" packages with nosource: and nopatch:
	- [] now allows interation through query formats
	- '-' flag for query tags removed
	- :date and :perms supported as query format specifiers
	- new rpmrc entries "arch" and "os" to override
	- --arch and --os on the command line to override
	- arch and os are now strings in the package header
	- added arch_compat handling in /etc/rpmrc
	- added build_arch to /etc/rpmrc
	- support arch as string
	- added --ignorearch option
	- Prefix: in spec file to specify default installation prefix
	- rpmrc and command line may be used to override the path
	  used for the rpm database
	- relocatable packages get installed properly
	- added support for --prefix and RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX environemtn
	  variable

	- handle # comments in preamble
	- don't barf if we can't canonicalize the hostname during builds
	- fixed --verify with --root

2.0.8 -> 2.0.9:
	- %files -f <file>
	- prelim Require/Provide handling
	- prelim strict checking of spec file
	- removed some bash-isms
	- fixed globbing/root bug
	- fixed rpm -q <num> bug
	- fixed ftw() related bug where symlinks were being
	  followed in %files rather than just being noted!!
	- pass "upgrade" arg to pre/post scripts when upgrading
	- use PATH to find cpio when installing
	- fixed rpm.magic, added sun4, mips, 68k, sgi, sunos, solaris
	- added %attr(mode owner group) feature to file list
	- fixed dumb %verify() parse bug

2.0.7 -> 2.0.8:
	- explicitly turn off ASCII armor when running PGP
	- fixed --noscripts logic, which was on by default and 
	  off if you specified it!
	- uses a temp file to pass filenames to cpio in case when 
	  their are more then 500 filenames in a package
	- added --rcfile
	- fixed problem with $HOME/.rcfile not being read
	- undocumented --search, --where, --keep-temps which
	  will probably won't be implemented in RPM 2.x anyway

2.0.6 -> 2.0.7:
        - builds now set umask 022 for all scripts
	- queries relative paths correctly (thanks to Johnie Stafford)
	- fixed error codes for failed installs
	- don't add NULL entry to group index for packages that don't
	  have group information, add it to the "Unknown" group instead
	- added --scripts query option
	- added --noscripts for installing and uninstall without using 
	  the pre/post scripts
	- "rpm -qd" and "rpm -qc" work properly now (they didn't imply
	   -l before)

2.0.5 -> 2.0.6:
	- internal changes to error messages

2.0.4 -> 2.0.5:
	- added support for generic querying
	- added --querytags option
	- updated man page for above two
	- short-circuit got added before 2.0.5, but I don't know when
	- query and installs should now return 0 on success and nonzero
	  otherwise (rpm -i should return the number of packages that
	  failed actually)
	- made rpm -qa fail if extra arguments are passed to it

2.0.3 -> 2.0.4:
	- added support for PowerPC, and OSF mklinux ports
	- added --resign
	- added --recompile
	- added verbose error messages from Tyson Sawyer
	- rpmconvert won't overwrite an existing database
	- won't core dump querying old format source packages
	- freed minor memory leak
	- more descriptive error messages during build

	- added mdfile prototype to rpmlib.h - the Python module wants this
	- fixed struct oldrpmlead to align properly on the alpha

2.0	- everything done :-)

2.0b -> 2.0c:
	- an incredible number of changes - I won't bother trying to 
	  list them

2.0a -> 2.0b:
	- moved build stuff to main rpm command, though --rebuild is still
	  not supported
	- install should work, although replaced files are not marked as
	  replaced
	- %doc macro fixed
	- --percent, --hash work for installs
	- converted databases and packages get the file list in the correct
	  order now

	- rpms are output to proper dirs (which are always arch sensitive)
	- basic rpmrc functions are implemented, full parsing is present
	- changed error messages for missing files to include full path
	- fixed detection of Alpha's

1.4.6 -> 2.0a:
