Package python-module-rpm: Information

This package contains a module which permits applications written in
the Python programming language to use the interface supplied by RPM
(RPM Package Manager) libraries.
- Changes in what is considered "newer" by rpm -U from 4.0.4-alt101.M80P.5.4
  brought to c7.1.
- Changes in what is considered "newer" by rpm -U:
  + The branch prefixes of disttags are ordered by rpmvercmp() rather than
    lexicographically. (For example, the numeric parts of "p8" or "p10" are
    compared as numbers. However, the first letter in "p7" or "c8.1" is more
    significant.)
  + An empty epoch is treated the same as 0, as in rpmevrcmp from ALT's
    rpm-4.13. (Used to be before: 2-alt1 < 0:1-alt1; now: 2-alt1 > 0:1-alt1)
  + Before the comparison, an optional initial padding (which is terminated
    by :) is skipped. (This will be useful for generating >,<-deps
    compatible with disttag-unaware rpm & apt.)
[Merged 4.0.4-alt101.M80P.6.M80C.2 into c7.1]
- Make rpm -q/-e accept package specification in [E:]V[-R[:D]][@T] format
  (with Epoch! As in rpm-4.13. Thx Vladimir D. Seleznev vseleznv@.) (ALT#36862)
- Provides: RPMQ(EPOCH) RPMQ(BUILDTIME) RPMQ(DISTTAG)
  (to be required by APT and other tools such as update-kernel, which need
  to query the RPM db by specifying Epoch, Buildtime, and Disttag).
