</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; we'll also go down the RPM5 route (which will hopefully be easier
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; &gt; for us then), in which case the distepoch will likely become used by

</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; what for?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; &gt; I would rather stick with other mainstream rpm-based distro and remain

</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; i would as well, however, it might be that rpm5 will become mainstream
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; later on. However, i do think we should agree on using rpm.org until such
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; a time that rpm5 is stable by other rpm-based distro's
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; personally, i would like some new features, and i'm prepared to work on
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; it; so I might help with maintaining current rpm.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Wouldn't then our rpm not be compatible with anybody else?
</I>
afaik every distro uses rpm with different patches and extra features. but i 
can be wrong.

In any case, there are some thing like the automatic dependency chooser which 
can improve (no change to spec files), and things like that...
