I'll restate what Colin said (please chime in if I misunderstand the proposal): During the download, packages are unpacked into a temporary root (/usr/.rpmtemp...), and the rpm headers are stored to disk in normal download location. During the installation, files are rename()d from this temporary location to the final destination. I fail to see why this would be significantly better... The logic to handle the split rpm contents would seem to be more complicated than the rewrite with /usr/bin/rpm2extents. Other comments?
