How is it that rpm has not been listed as a core component along with anaconda? Does this mean that RPM will continue to be developed without coming under the RHL umbrella?

I thought rpm was it's own b/c its used by so many linux distributions.
-sv
If you are referring to the list of projects on the website, we did not intentionally leave any off. Internal RH developers were given the opportunity to add pages under the Projects section. Some haven't had time to yet. I didn't want to add one for them because then it wouldn't be maintained.

rpm will be released through Fedora very soon now.
The "RedHat package manager" and the "RPM package manager" were quietly forked by me in early June.
Mostly I can tell you just one thing: I'm looking forward to divergent functionality in 2 variant rpm implementations about as much as I'm expecting to stick a fork in my eye-ball.
Translation: You can expect the {RedHat|RPM} package manager to interoperate smootly to the greatest extent possible.
Otherwise, I have no idea what all this means, I'm still pretty much making it up as I go along.
I will have a more complete announcement on rpm-list@redhat.com as soon as I get a chance to write.
Not that any of this should matter much to anyone, there's only me developing rpm, and I expact and plan on continuing to do so.
