[RULE] no recompilation of rpm needed?

[M. Fioretti]

Hello,
Just got this from the rpm list:

>There is support (albeit limited) for unpacking *.rpm pkgs within
>busybox. The support is limited (i.e. won't add pkg headers to an rpmdb,
>no query/verify, etc) but is sufficient to install files from a
>*.rpm onto the file system.

Basically the suggestion is to install the real rpm on disk with the
pretend version embedded in busybox, and then use that rpm package,
the real one, to install everything else and rebuild the RPM database.

In this case there would be no need at all to recompile some custom
version of rpm for slinky.

What do you think?

Ciao,
	Marco
