Caos NSA (www.caoslinux.org) will be using rpm5, though at this moment
we're still using 4.4.7. Other than a problem where
/usr/lib/rpm/caos/macros wasn't getting parsed, my rpm5 packages
performed quite well in testing. Just haven't had time to track down
the cause of the macro issue. As soon as I do, though, that's where
we're headed.
