  Hi all,

rpmfind-0.98 is out, it add automatic mirror support, user's prefered
mirror site (in case the dumb guess algorithm is not good enough or
the mirror list incomplete), and distribution rating.
There is also a mechanism to avoid using packages depending on some
resources(or files) and the possibility to block upgrade of some
packages (e.g.libc, kernel, ...).
The result is that the config file $HOME/.rpmfind is more complicated now
but hopefully commented by default.

rpm2html-98 is out too, this is mainly an update release since the XML/RDF
code has been upgraded. It dumps mirror informations from the config file
too to allow the client to get distribution informations and mirrors lists.

 Rpmfind users are urged to upgrade since the encoding of metadata will
change at the next rpm2html upgrade, and backward compatibility won't work
that time,

Daniel
