Dunno if this still relevant. Any success with rpm-4.4.7 and poldek yet?

Mea culpa. I apologize for breaking poldek.
Meanwhile, a patch to restore most of the functionality I ripped can
be found at
http://wraptastic.org/pub/jbj/rpm-revert.patch
I'll carry that code through rpm-4.4.8 (or as long as needed) if you
want. Please note
that rpm-4.4.7 no longer reads /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc by default, and so
behavior with and without
reading rpmrc is well, one behavior too many.
My intent is to simplify choosing cpu-vendor-os, all that rpm needs
is strings.
That should help make cross-packaging and multilib and xen and qemu
and ...
easier with rpm.
But I certainly did not mean to break any code.

Your patch looks pretty sound from a rpm POV, I'm less familiar with
poldek
sources,.

Hmmm, weird. If you send me the equivalent of rpm -vv output from
poldek privately,
I might be able to guess what is happening. The errors are quite
strange.
