Summary:

Swinstall is now more useable, although control script
execution is *still* not done.  Minor fixes to swpackage.
RPM translation was improved and integrated into swinstall
and swcopy.  swinstall should be considered _alpha_,
however, with implementation of INFO file meta-data checks,
file md5 checks, and direct comparison of RPM and
swinstall installs possible as a test, a measure of
correctness can be demonstrated for swinstall.


Changes:
swbis-0.370
        - RPM conversion: rpmpsf.c: Fixed to work
                better with Suse source RPMs.

swbis-0.369
        - Fixed swinstall return code.
        - Fixed an infinite loop when converting RPMs with
                non ascii characters in the pathnames.
swbis-0.368
        - swpackage.cxx: Now major/minor device numbers
                are only included for device files.
        - swinstall: made much faster for packages with
                lots of files.
        - swpackage: Now the POSIX control directories
                are not prepended to a hard link link_source
                if that make the link_source not fit in a 
                tar header.
swbis-0.367
        - Tested with gcc-3.4.0.
        - Fixed swinstall return code.

swbis-0.366
        - Fixed compiler option on RH6.2
        - Fixed compilation when using --with-rpm on RH6.2
        - More RPM translation testing and fixes to rpmpsf.c
        - swpackage: swobjfiles_i.h:  Fixed core dump when
                translating RPMS with signing turned on
                (either --sign or --dummy-sign).

swbis-0.365
        - swpackage: Fixed --file-digests option processing.
        - reverted --static for swinstall build since this
                breaks sparc/solaris compilation.
        - swinstall: fixed zero length payloads in swicol_send_task
                because zero length payloads are broken with the
                dd(1) on solaris hosts.
        - Fixed logging messages on solaris hosts.

swbis-0.364
        - swmetadata.cxx: Fixed warning on BSD hosts.
        - cleaned up commented out code, unused variables.

swbis-0.363
        - reverted some debugging changes from 0.362.
        - Now swinstall is statically linked.
        - swinstall.c : fixed the preview mode broken by
                the fix in 0.362.
        - Fixed regression test 033 which was broken by
                instance_id generation in swpackage.cxx.
        - Added ksh to list of supported shells.  pdksh-5.2.14
                worked OK with swinstall.

swbis-0.362
        - swinstall: fixed pipe breakage for local installs by
                adding a do-nothing trailer task which acts to
                hold up the process and the pipe.
        - swinstall : verbosity tweaks.

swbis-0.361
        - swinstall: Added use of swi_delete(SWI*) in swinstall.c

        - swinstall: Fixed fd leak when using multiple targets.
        - swinstall: uinfile open flags optimizations.
        - swinstall: memory leak fixes.

                invocation.

swbis-0.358
        - swpackage.cxx: now translates RPMs that have a missing
                file.

                member that could (did) result in core dump.
