Subject:	Proposed RPM Installer Design
X-Mailer:	VM 6.76 under 21.1 (patch 12) "Channel Islands" XEmacs Lucid

Folks,

I've written the design document for the re-worked RPM installer
design; I've posted it at:

    http://www.helixdigital.com/~alcocer/rpm-installer/

This version hopefully addresses all of the points that were brought
up in our previous discussion.  I've posted to the cygwin-apps mailing
list because I believe it's a more appropriate forum than the general
Cygwin mailing list.

Again, I want to reiterate that I have an almost-working version which
hopefully will be updated to conform to the final version of this
design document.  I intend to make the first implementation available
for download and review sometime in August.

Comments are welcome.  Thanks in advance for all your input!
