- RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX wasn't being set properly (this should be
  fixed now)
- replaced temporary file creation to be race-condition safe

- added vesrion stamp to lib/misc.o (and librpm.a by extension)
- fixed config.sub, config.guess to recognize i686

- 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

  automatically generated dependencies
- look for random() in libm if it can't be found be default

- 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

- added "day" query format which is like date, but doesn't print
  any time
- added --changelog alias to query a packages changelog entry

- 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

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

- 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:

  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()

- fixed error message issued when a groupname does not exist
- fixed but in changelog processing which made it hang on '*' in a
  changelog entry

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

  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

- 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

  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

- 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

  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:
- fixed typo in default rpmrc
- made getBooleanVar() a bit better
- added triggers to package builds
- tagged spec file in source package file list
- added %verifyscript (controlled by --noscript, -v flags)
- changed pkgReadHeader() mechanism to be more generic
- added find-provides for Solaris, made find-provides setup
  more generic (w/ configure.in picking the right one)

  (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

  hardcoded
- removed some of the \n from args to error() [though many are
  still left]

- 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

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

  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

- --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)

  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
- fixed hashing when multiple packages are being modified

2.1.1 -> 2.1.2:
- fixed error message for unrelocateable packages
        - 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
- misc fixes to compile with glibc
- use PGPPATH if set (and no pgp_path: in rpmrc)
- remove pgp_pubring, pgp_secring stuff
- 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
- added dependency checking for version numbers
- added correct dependency checking for upgrades
- added :depflags query format flag
- changes --provides, --requires, and --scripts queries to use
  queryFormats

  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 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

2.0 -> 2.0.1:
- hashing and percentages no longer SIGFPE on 0 byte packages
- when an ftp fails, install.c no longer tries to install the package
- uses /var/tmp rather then /usr/tmp during for ftp space
- added debugging messages to ftp.c
- fixed some mistakes in the PGP section of the man page
