Rpm 4.11 alpha (or actually post-alpha snapshot to pull in a few
accumulated fixes + enhancements) will be hitting rawhide shortly.
There's no soname bump involved this time, so no rebuilds required.

There's one thing that does affect nearly every package: new warnings
about bogus spec changelog dates. The most common cause is the day name
not matching the given date, such as:
warning: bogus date in %changelog: Tue Jun 03 2009 Panu Matilainen
<pmatilai@xxxxxxxxxx> - 4.7.0-5

Jun 03 2009 was Wednesday, not Tuesday, hence the warning. As rpm hasn't
hasn't previously validated changelog dates make sense as a whole,
nearly every spec has one or more of these mistakes. It's just a warning
though and doesn't cause build failures.

Other than that, chances are you wont notice much anything at all.
Assuming all goes well that is. So its the usual drill: keep your eyes
open on rawhide builds and report any new oddities found ASAP. I'm not
expecting any major issues with this but you never really know.

Here's another %doc change:

%doc doc/Users\ guide\ Apache.html

Gets executed as:

+ cp -pr 'doc/Users /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/rubygem-passenger-3.0.19-1.fc19.i386/usr/share/doc/mod_passenger-3.0.19' cp: missing destination file operand after 'doc/Users /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/rubygem-passenger-3.0.19-1.fc19.i386/usr/share/doc/mod_passenger-3.0.19'
