Changes for version 0.28 - 2000-08-18

  • sixth alpha
  • Considerable additions made to the documentation in RPM::Constants, as well as a few corrections. The prototype of the constant() function was changed, as well.
  • Several bugs were addressed in RPM::Header, most notably: Error returns now correctly return a value of "undef"; A blocking issue surrounding multiple RPM::Header objects from ftp:// sources is fixed; the mode with which files are opened was also changed to allow for reading off of STDIN. The error-return issue was also applied to RPM::Database.
  • RPM::Header now has a source_name() accessor method that returns the file name (or URI) that the header was read from. This is null if the header came from the database.
