Next Update

Hi,

I'm currently working on an update of jRPM.
This will feature:
- integrate the new CPIOInput/OutputStream into the reading of
   rpm files.
- Know about new tags
- fill more tags with values (FILENAMES, all signature tags
   are written to the corresponding header tags)
- possible to set values internaly and create new
   data values with the TypeFactry.create* (like createSTRING)
- the payload files will be removed *PayloadArchive.java
- extraction of files is removed at the moment. This will
   be integrated later. For this to work the rpm must be parsed
   twice. First read and check all tags and than extract given
   files. Tags like FILENAMES are read out of the CPIO archive.
   So consequently the RPMFile(InputStream*) constuctors are
   removed also. RPMFile can only contain a File not an
   InputStream any more.
- Reading of the rpm file will not be made on creating a RPMFile.
   rpmFile.parse() must be called

Currently jRPM knows about all tags of my rpm 4.1 and most
tags of the test ElectricFence rpm file are read correctly.
At the moment 6 tags have errors.
I hope to finish this in the next week.

I have tested maven-1.0-rc2 on the sf shell. I have some problems with
this so it is currently not activated. The rc2 is installed under
maven_rc2 so if you like yannick you can test it :)

regards,
	Michael
