 This is an interesting rpm query line

rpm -q --qf "Vendor: %{VENDOR}\n Packager: %{PACKAGER}\nRequires:\n" \
    --requires --qf "\nProvides:\n"  --provides \
    -p ftp://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/xchat-1.8.8-5.i386.rpm

 
 something like this should be parsable by grab to fill in the hash
 table.  So inside grab you can use the rpm -q line to grab the header
 from the package on the remote server....output all the header
 information you want to stdout....and then parse it with perl into the
 hash.
