[$] RPM 4.20 is coming
The https://rpm.org/
(RPM) project is
nearing the release of RPM 4.20, the last major planned update for the RPM 4.x
series. It has few user-facing changes, but
several additions and enhancements for developers—as well as
some small incompatibilities that will likely require RPM packagers to
revise their <a href="https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/#what-is-a-spec-file"; rel="nofollow">spec
files</a>. 4.20 will be rolling out to many users soon, in
Fedora 41, which is scheduled for October. RPM 6.0 is
already in the works, with a new package format and opening the door
to enabling C++ use in the RPM codebase.
