The changes are:
.disc1-i386 (timestamp) -> affects .disc4-i386
TRANS.TBL -> names in 8:3 format have changed!!!
-> and
-> abiword-0.99.5-1.i386.rpm
-> is now
-> abiword-0.99.5-2.i386.rpm
boot.cat
RedHat/RPMS/abiword-0.99.5-2.i386.rpm -> was abiword-0.99.5-1.i386.rpm
RedHat/base/comps -> small diffs
RedHat/base/hdlist
RedHat/base/hdlist2
RedHat/base/hdstg1.img
RedHat/base/netstg1.img
RedHat/base/stage2.img
dosutils/autoboot/cdboot.img
dosutils/autoboot/initrd.img
images/boot.img
images/bootnet.img
images/drvblock.img
images/drvnet.img
images/oldcdrom.img
images/pcmcia.img
images/pcmciadd.img
images/pxeboot/initrd.img
images/pxeboot/initrd-everything.img
images/{de,es,fr,it,ja}/boot.img
images/{de,es,fr,it,ja}/bootnet.img
images/{de,es,fr,it,ja}/pcmcia.img
When they change the abiword package the changes are reflected on
all these files? Some of them are obvious (TRANS.TBL, etc) but other like
boot.cat, initrd*.img, pcmcia.img, drv*.img are not so obvious...
