[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM v6 package format, first public draft for commenting (Discussion #2374)

[Panu Matilainen]

The file order in payload doesn't match the one in the header, at least for hardlinks and other stuff that may not have content at all. Maybe in a perfect world one could expect that order to be strictly defined and always correct, but there are multiple cases in rpm history where one bug or the other has led into order changing or things like %ghost payload in the header where it's not expected. So I for one will sleep a lot better knowing there's a mapping from payload to the header.
