Cool! I have plenty of answers for rpm-4.4.6 as I start to develop  
more aggressively.

You might want to sign up to <rpm-devel lists dulug duke edu> if you  
want
earlier warning of pending changes like dependencies on parent  
directories,
or wish to teach me the error of my ways sooner ;-)

FWIW, rpm-4.4.7 should be released in the next 2 weeks or so too. One
"feature" that is likely to be within 4.4.7 is support for a depot- 
like install, where
the RO presentation path (like /usr/bin) is distinguished from the RW  
maintenance
path (like /depot/platform/usr/bin) with a separate lightweight -- 
activate/--deactivate
to create hard/soft links.

Dunno yet, we'll see.
