Hot on the heels of 4.4.2.1... but there's been a truckload of fixes (some 
trivial, some more important) that didn't quite make it there. In order to 
get those bugfixes out in a decent timeframe, we'll have another 4.4.2 
series maintenance release.

The rc tarball can be found here:
http://rpm.org/releases/testing/rpm-4.4.2.2-rc1.tar.gz
and sha1 sum is 0b3d47649ed7b564b054b325eb0ac2addbbd8a6d.
