In the next chapter of my saga, I've managed to get rpm-python and rpm to successfully function on a debian system. The only problem is that it's rpm 4.0.4 which limits me to yum 1.0.3. Since this box is only going to be generating headers for yum clients to get, I have to ask what the differences in the headers from yum 1.0.3 to yum2x. Are there any truly remarkable differences that would require sacrificing another goat to get newer versions of rpm to build? Are there any irregularities that my occur if a 2.x client connects and gets 1.x headers? -- Jim Perrin
