[Rpm-announce] RPM 4.16.0 alpha released!

[Panu Matilainen]

So soon you say? Well, its almost a year since 4.15 alpha and annual 
release schedule isn't *that* fast. More like trying to get back on 
track with this release stuff after some erratic years.

Anyway, here goes. The two major themes here are: preparing to finally 
kick Berkeley DB out, and (conditional) macro expressions. If you ever 
thought %{?foo:bar} is too limited, this one is for you.

Highlights include:
- Powerful macro and %if expressions including ternary operator
- New sqlite and read-only BDB backends, NDB promoted to stable
- Automatic SSD detection and optimization on Linux

On behalf of the rpm-team, with special thanks to Michael Schroeder for 
all the database and expression work!
