Gabriel,
oops. I didn't know that that was what you intended. In fact, Red Hat
has an updated RPM package to support RPM v4.x on RH 6.x, and I have
the package on my system. Unfortunately both database and RPM's
format have changed between 3.x and 4.x so they are not backwards
compatible. I'll have a look, because I believe 4.x can still build
3.x format RPMs (without the advantages of the 4.x format which
happen to escape me at the moment).
Erlend.
