Rpm 4.2 API (was: Re: New beginnings)

> I'm not aware of any documentation for the new API.

FWIW, I made small test program on RHL 8.1 beta with its rpm 4.2 API:

	ts = rpm.TransactionSet("/", rpm._RPMVSF_NOSIGNATURES)
	fd = os.open(pathname, os.O_RDONLY)
	hdr = ts.hdrFromFdno(fd)
	os.close(fd)
	name = hdr[rpm.RPMTAG_NAME]
	...

This works fine.  The boolean "isSource" that previously was returned
by rpm.headrFromPackage can now be obtained by accessing
hdr[rpm.RPMTAG_SOURCEPACKAGE].
