Ah that could be a problem...rawhide can have package downgrades from
time to time...so trying to select packages from yer rawhide repository
can become a problem...since you do things by version number and not by
posted date. I like the idea of having old rawhide packages
available...thats a good idea...but becuase rawhide package version
numbers don't always increase in time sometimes they get
downgraded...being able to sort them by date is also "a good thing" (tm)

nein able to go rab --showall packagename   and having grab not only
list the version number but the date added to the ftp site would make
choosing which rawhide package to use easier.
