It's the "right away" that is a bit scary. If you think I can deliver a "production" ready replacement for a full rpmdb dump under all tool chains in one swell foop, well, think again please. There really isn't (or shouldn't be) any hurry here with DUDF -> CUDF. The ripple affect is gonna take some time to work through. I would *really* like to see the Mancoosi tools being used, the research was dead-on even if DUDF was a necessary design flaw and that Version: memoization prevents CUDF from far far wider usage cases (but CUDF can be used to test RPM even if RPM cannot generate CUDF easily/simply). hth 73 de Jeff
