RPM Development Priorities over the next 5 months or so

This page is out dated. We are moving this stuff to the ticket + roadmap system!

These items came out of ongoing discussions with rpm and yum developers.

RPM

Internal design improvements

  • new extensible transaction callback interface

RPM-Python-NG

  • Ability to create/write an rpm signature and package hdr objects and serialize them
  • Ability to access hdr manip. code for k-v pairs from above
  • Transaction Callback code
    • from rpmtrans.py and rpmUtils in yum code to check rpm package signatures w/o using rpm itself and using a keyring of keys
  • a lot of the standard stuff that's in rpmUtils.miscutils
