Reiteration of this point in all of your messages does not serve any useful purpose. A quick scan of your reply seemed to show that you are asking for features and outlining well-known shortcomings. Unless you are volunteering to do that work, this is likely YA wishlist which will go nowhere.

I was asking why the *specific* change needed to be implemented. You did not answer my question. But that's ok. This particular case is closed anyway. >As a side note >libzypp =>Depends on mingw boost C++ gtk e2fsporg and so forth... >I really like the algorithm they have, but we need it running quick, >cheap, and simple. >have not looked into it, but if it matches our requirements, prahaps a >option. not sure yet. No idea what libzypp is. **cgf googles http://doc.opensuse.org/projects/libzypp/HEAD/ If someone has ported rpm to mingw that would certainly be interesting. Otherwise, this is a cart-before-the-horse situation. >One of the reasons we sill have perl/awk/shell scripts to roll things >out, is when things break, its not that hard to fix/patch a workaround. I love perl/awk/shell scripts. I use them quite frequently. I was actually suggesting that they would be an alternative to the suggested patch. I think that, in general, wrapping your installation needs in a wrapper is a fine idea. cgf
