The second test release of rpm 3.0 is now available at

	ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test/rpm-2.92.tar.gz

(Yes, rpm-2.91 was never released due to massive memory leaks
 and Linux World.)

This version is also available through anonymous cvs:
	cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.rpm.org:/cvs/devel login
	(no password, just carriage return)
	cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.rpm.org:/cvs/devel get rpm
	cd rpm

This version is available through Raw Hide. (Use only the
src rpms from Raw Hide -- gibc-2.1 supports glibc-2.0 but not
vice versa).

If you do install rpm-2.92, you will have to do
	rpm --rebuilddb
because the database format has changed. You will also have to do
rpm --rebuilddb if/when you go back to rpm-2.5.x.

I'd like to get bug reports and patches, if possible, through
bugzilla:
	http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla

========================================================================
Here are 2 common problems encountered with rpm-2.9x:

1) --rcfile works differently.

Old way:	rpm --rcfile whatever
New way:	rpm --rcfile /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc:whatever

2) topdir (and other rpmrc configurables) work differently.

Old way:
	~/.rpmrc contains
		topdir:		whatever

New way:
	~/.rpmrc contains
		macrofiles:	/usr/lib/rpm/macros:/somewhere/rpmmacros
	/somewhere/rpmmacros contains
		%_topdir	whatever
