But, can you:
-ensure that all valid packages that build under rpm-4.x (e.g. in Mandriva 2010.x) will build under rpm5?
-ensure that all valid packages that install under rpm-4.x will install under rpm-4.x?
There is no document specifying what has changed, or even when highlighting changes, no-one (@rpm5.org, or @mandriva.com) has bothered to list them so that contributors can save time instead of troubleshooting breakage.
Some issues that have impacted me so far:
-changed behaviour of %exclude
-new reserved macros (%sql)
-possible race condition between %__os_install_post and processing of %files (.lzma man pages reported missing where they are in fact .xz)
(and of course, the unavailability of the build system - during one of the periods I had the most time to work on packages - due to the rpm5 "upgrade")
rpm5 has wasted more than half of the time I could afford to contribute to Mandriva. It seems Mandriva has resources to waste, I don't think we have.
(At present, I am not sure if I will continue to maintain packages in Mandriva, the ones where I need newer packages on non-Mandriva at work which I currently maintain in Mandriva and then rebuild I will maintain for the present, but ones I don't need for work may languish ...)

Buchan
