I use rpm a fair amount and know a decent amount about it (I maintain a RHEL4 server + I wrote my B.A. Thesis on package mangers). Taking a quick look (http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=rpm), I think I can try to tackle some of the bugs on a weekend. Will you guys be open to me hacking around, submitting patches/ebuilds, letting you review it, etc....kind of like a try out? I won't be able to get started until Friday evening. I'll probably need a little direction about where best to start...
Thanks. -Andrey Falko
