Description Friedmund Lassmann 2005-08-22 09:27:06 UTC 
SLES 9 and all SUSE 9.X versions and now also OpenSUSE 10 beta come with RPM 
version 4.1.1 while RedHat is using RPM 4.2 since RHEL 3 / RedHat 9. And on 
ftp://jbj.org/pub/rpm-4.4.x you can already find 4.4.2.

It would be very helpful if SUSE could use at least RPM 4.2. This version adds 
some very useful support for transactions and rollback, see 
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7034
And 4.2 is also better in resolving dependencies (I know that YAST takes care 
about that, but every now and then its faster to use the command line..)
