That would certainly be nice... We could test for it during configure otherwise fallback to the library. We can't actually get rid of the older method till people stop using the older version even if rpm itself is reved soon. Between all the RPM distributions out there that stay installed for ages...

The configure portions for RPM support are a real pain in the neck (second to OpenSSL, though). Supporting multiple versions of the library, etc, in order to support older OSes makes life a pain. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
