Since when has source code constituted user documentation?
Actually, I did a grep over /usr/doc/rpm-<version>. I found one line in
CHANGES that I examined. The reference in /usr/doc/rpm-3.0.5/macros simply
didn't look relevant to command-line usage of rpm.
Now all you need is a couple of lines in the man page, and folk WILL be able
to find it.
What about the other new rpm features? Such as just where --force is effective
now? I have been told it means more than just this:
--force
Same as using --replacepkgs, --replacefiles, and --oldpackage.
Back in the days of RHL 3.0.3, we used to have quite good documentation on
building RPMs. That has vanished, and I've never found a decent replacement
(and I HAVE downloaded Maximum RPM twice, the second time since the advent of
rpm 3; I found it unaltered from the first time).
