Hi,
we're just about to switch Ark Linux over to using rpm5 - so this would be the 
right time for us to make other related changes.

The first thing coming to mind is the rpm database format -- we've been using 
db4 so far, has anyone compared db4 and sqlite to see if switching to sqlite 
has any benefits/drawbacks (speed, db file size, ...)?

Also, are there any known db backend specific bugs?

Thanks,
bero
