Hello Seth and others.
I and some of my coworkers work on our own implementation of
rpm updaters/installer tools in python. I very happy with yum,
but we need to rewrite it cause license violation (out customer
don't want to use GPL stuff in this project). Because of it i have
idea to make document with name 'RPM repository format' witch describe
all this folders like 'headers' and files like header.info. So it's may
be sort of standart for 'yum and yum-compatible rpm tools'.
Now i need to ask - did you have any plans to change format of this
folders/files? I have some problems with current state of this file -
for example i think it's a good idea to add field 'size of file' to
header.info (or to separate meta.info file for example).

Sorry for my realy terrible english.
