Hi

I see you're back-porting fixes in FC's rpm. eg:

* Wed Mar 07 2012 Panu Matilainen <pmatilai at redhat.com> - 4.9.1.2-6
- fix memory corruption on rpmdb size estimation (#766260)
- fix couple of memleaks in python bindings (#782147)
- fix regression in verify output formatting (#797964)
- dont process spec include in false branch of if (#782970)
- only warn on missing excluded files on build (#745629)
- dont free up file info sets on test transactions

* Thu Feb 09 2012 Panu Matilainen <pmatilai at redhat.com> - 4.9.1.2-5
- adjust font detection rules for libmagic change (#757105)
- fix classification of ELF binaries with setuid/setgid bit (#758251)
- switch back to smaller BDB cache default (#752897)

However they don't land in other distros' rpm unless they look at FC's rpm.

I know that not all those patches would be committed upstream, but please
can you do a new release of rpm-4.9.1.3 with those fixes so that
everybody can enjoy them?

Thanks
