It's that time of year again... we're planning on getting a brand new RPM version into Fedora 13. While the feature submission is being processed and public beta being prepared, we'd like to get some extra testing of the new RPM to catch out any remaining wrinkles our own testing hasn't caught.
So this is a call for brave testers who eat rawhide for breakfast, to try out pre-release snapshot(s) of the oncoming RPM release. This is not supposed to eat your system alive or anything - I've used snapshots from rpm.org HEAD on my systems througout the development process without problems but you never know... so proceed with appropriate caution.
For an idea what to expect, see the draft release notes at http://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.8.0
You can find Fedora compatible "snapshots of the day" source rpms from http://laiskiainen.org/rpm/srpms/ (use the latest you can find). These should be buildable on and compatible with F11, 12 and rawhide.
Please report any oddities found, preferably to rpm.org Trac at http://rpm.org/newticket but mail will do too.

Ordered package erasures, excellent.

Yup, sorry I forgot to mention this: as the OCaml dependency generation has gotten integrated into rpm now, it conflicts with current ocaml-runtime. Obviously the scripts can't be removed from ocaml-runtime until the new rpm is in rawhide, but removing them from rpm isn't good either as you couldn't test the new thing...
So for now: a) if you dont need it, remove ocaml-runtime b) if you do, install with --replacefiles

Excellent. Just to make sure... we hope you are targeting those changes for the Fedora 13 feature freeze deadline which feeds into the ALPHA :)

NOTE: the Fedora 13 schedule is not "final" yet, but we do not expect the feature freeze deadline to be any earlier.

Once the schedule has been finalized I will create iCal (*.ics) files with TaskJuggler and they'll be in the schedule directory: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-13/
like they were for Fedora 12: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/

Please do link to them from the schedule wiki page when they are available.

I notice that explicit ordering syntax that doesn't trigger a strict "requires" isn't on this list. It's really something we need sooner rather than later, and it's been requested by many people for quite some time now.
What needs to be done to get this prioritized? There is a mounting set of features we're implementing parts of very poorly because of the lack of this functionality.
