Also, some future version will support automatically rolling back a transaction. Also, in the area of builds 4 is a lot more stringent which from the perspective of configuration management is a good thing. Oh, Yeah, almost forgot 4.x supports the concept of color which is a funny way of describing a packages's/transaction's bent towards 32-bitness or 64-bitness. In short, it supports 64 bit linuxes. Cheers...james P.S. Also, a lot of good thing are comming down the pipe, but are not released yet. For instance, I have spied pre and post transaction scriptlets, transaction locks, and of course addition of rpms own embeded lua interpreter. If I ever get the time you will see install time evaluation of macros...or maybe someone else will do this. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
